City, agencies focus
on Keith crosswalks

THE BUSIEST PART of
Keith Avenue is a night-
mare for pedestrians trying
to cross, and three agen-
cies are now working to
solve the problem.

The Insurance Corpora-
tion of B.C, the highways
ministry and the City of
Terrace are now trying to

' figure out whal to do to
make the area from the
Sande Overpass to Kalum

. St. safer for those on-foot,

- The issue had been
raised by city councillors
in recent weeks and city
staff had been pushing for
action for some time.

ICBC regional manager
Frank Fekete met council
Friday and said ICBC and
the highways ministry are
both paying for separate
studies to look into it.

“IVs bad,” he said.
“That area really concerns
us.”

Councillor Linda Hawes
said people are “playing
chicken with four lanes of
traffic” and it’s just a mat-
ter of time before someone
is killed.

“It’s a disaster waiting

to happen,” said councillor
David Hull, who added
ICBC shouldn’t have to
pay $25,000 for a study to
figure out that a pedestrian
controlled light is needed
about halfway between the
overpass and Kalum,
_ Fekete said he can’t
second guess what the
technicians will decide,
bul reassured council he
considers it a priority. _
