A view on proposed crossing

It is good to hear that pedestrian lights may be a possibility at the Hillside end of town.

The location of the lights is critical, though. A lot of elderly people from Logstown use the shops alongside Hillside and a location further up the road would be of no benefit to them.

Also the traffic issues with regard to the entrance of Hillcrest could be addressed with the introduction of traffic lights incorporatiing pedestrian lights along the Hill side area.

Regarding the use of the lights by school children, once on that side of the road they face a hazardous journey from the end of the Hillcrest development down to the Fountain take away, as the footpath is not suitable for pedestrians. The footpaths in this area could be upgraded using the funds outlined by Billy Hillis in your article.

Hope it happens ...
