The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recognizes Pedestrian Safety Month each October. Its goal: to increase awareness around pedestrian safety and remind drivers to watch for pedestrians every time they are behind the wheel. Similarly, our own Heads Up Cornelius is a safety initiative focused on reducing pedestrian- and cyclist-related collisions. Both programs encourage drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists to look out for each other, reduce distractions, be vigilant at crosswalks and in hard-to-see conditions, and obey regulations including speed limits and street signs. Heads Up Cornelius: Your Streets. Your Town. Your Responsibility.
In related news, the crosswalk improvements at Westmoreland Road connecting the two phases of McDowell Creek Greenway are well underway. This project, long delayed due to supply chain issues, will include a well-marked crosswalk and a High Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) pedestrian signal system and should be completed by early 2023.
