New safety upgrades are coming in front of Delhi District Secondary School.
Our elected officials voted in favour of putting in a Mid-Block Pedestrian Signal at the crosswalk in front of the high school.
Sadly, several students have been hit at this busy interaction which currently has a crossing guard and a pedestrian crossover in place.
While thankfully none of those crashes have been critical or fatal, other injuries have occurred.
The last student to be hit late last year was in the hospital for some time.
Staff told our elected officials that, since it was moved in front of the high school, the use of the crosswalk has increased and the need for this proper stop in the interest of student safety was needed.
