Local Residents Furious After City Installs ‘Platner’ Safety Barriers on Main Street – ‘Common Sense Says Put in a Crosswalk, Not Fancy Furniture!’
I keep telling my council member this, but they just don’t listen. They spent $40,000 on these fancy ‘platner’ wire barriers to “calm traffic” when everyone with two eyes knows we just need a zebra crossing and a speed bump. It’s like they’re designing a park, not a road. My neighbour’s kid nearly got hit last week because drivers are too busy looking at the metal sculptures to watch for pedestrians. ‘Common sense’ is dead in this town.
