Cross At Kent
Added March 7, 2011
Local residents are petitioning the City of Hamilton to request a Pedestrian-activated stoplight at the corner of Kent and Aberdeen Streets. Councillor Brian McHattie (Ward 1) and the Kirkendall Neighbourhood Association support this.
The Petition
Whereas, Hamilton City Council has made commitments to improving walkability in the city by signing the International Charter for Walking, and through City Council's vision statement with the goal of making Hamilton the best place to raise a child, and;
Whereas, the Public Health Services department is undertaking programs to promote walkability (i.e., Active and Safe Routes to School), and;
Whereas, supporting and encouraging active transportation (e.g., walking) may result in increased physical activity, increased social cohesion, decreased risk of injuries and decreased levels of air pollution, and;
Whereas, several City departments are committed to the Hamilton Strategic Road Safety Program, and;
Whereas, the Public Works department is working with other City departments to develop a city-wide Pedestrian and Walkability Master Plan, and;
Whereas, streets and roads are not only for cars.
Therefore:
The undersigned urge the City of Hamilton to take swift and concrete action to facilitate walkability and pedestrian safety across the entire City of Hamilton.Sign the petition
