“It’s definitely a daily struggle with just trying to do day-to-day activities with my son. If (we’re) wanting to go to the park, to his school, we have to cross across the street which is definitely not accessible,” said Megan Ladelpha, a mother living with mobility issues.
Ladelpha walks with a cane and says the LRT construction combined with residential construction on both sides of the road, has created a dangerous environment for pedestrians.
"It’s not safe at all, with just how busy it is, to cross the street anymore so I don’t cross the street that way anymore, I drive," she noted.
