Calgary teen’s recovery a slow journey after hit and run on problematic stretch of road
The data shows there have been nine incidents marked as involving pedestrians and two involving cyclists in a two-block radius from where Taylor was hit since 2017. And at that intersection – 16 Avenue and 46 Street N.W. – there have been 10 traffic incidents in five years.
City data shows that stretch of the Trans Canada Highway had at least six pedestrian collisions in four years: In Alberta, pedestrians have the right of way in marked or unmarked crosswalks, and failing to yield to a pedestrian could result in a $810 fine and four demerit points.The City of Calgary studied the 16 Avenue transportation corridor, identifying short- and medium-term solutions for the area. The short-term fixes included reducing the speed limit and introducing a median.
“I worry a lot about the schoolchildren that are crossing here ,” she said, adding she frequently has vehicles pass by her while she’s still in the crosswalk.“The school is just a few blocks this way, so this crosswalk is the most convenient to cross to get to the school.“It’s really nice to walk and ride our bikes to school and I want to continue doing that, but I’d feel much better if this crossing was safer.
