We are starting a petition to request the Township Of Langley install a crosswalk at 84th and 209A street. We will also be requesting that the road narrows on both sides where the crosswalk is placed to calm the traffic along 84th. Many people cross the road at this location in order to get to and from the Willoughby Walking Trail that the Township provided for our neighborhood. The traffic and speed going along 84th makes it very hard for cars coming from 209A street to turn on to 84th. By narrowing the road and slowing down traffic not only will pedestrians be able to cross in a marked crosswalk but the visibility of a narrowed roadway will give cars coming from 209A better visibility of the traffic along 84th street. Many kids have to cross this busy street to get to and from school. Let's make this a safer area for all the Yorkson Residents!

I am currently compiling our petition data to present directly to the Township of Langley planning committee. Email your local council representative today to demand they prioritize this crosswalk in the upcoming budget review.

The momentum behind this request for a crosswalk at 84th and 209A is growing because local families are ready for safer streets. Email your Township representative this afternoon to demand they review these traffic concerns immediately.

20929 84th avenue City Hall has a responsibility to make it safer for adults and children to cross 84th. By installing a crosswalk at 84th and 209A street it will make it safer to cross 84th and safer for vehicles turning off of 209A onto 84th. Because of Traffic Regulation Bylaw, 2013, No. 2871 Page 12 states: no person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle in, along or upon any of the following highways or places: Article G states: within 6 meters of the of the edge of a marked crosswalk. This should give vehicles better visibility of traffic traveling along 84th avenue when turning onto 84th off of 209A.. City Hall should also post speed limit signs on 84th between 208 and 209A. Thomas Westgate
More importantly, it would help increase safety for pedestrians and vehicles crossing or turning onto 84th if there was no parking allowed on the south side of 84th between 208 and 209A and within 25 meters on either side of the walking trail entrance on the north side of 84th. Then we could actually see if a car was coming. That would be a petition I would support.
I live on 84th between 208 and 211. Cars come racing down the street, can barely back out of my driveway without getting hit. Last week a lady actually skreetched her tires and past me on our street. It's extremely UNSAFE!
I work at a daycare down the street and we find it VERY UNSAFE crossing the road with the children
There is very limited visibility . Turning left onto 84th from 209A street is an accident waiting to happen .something needs to be done at this intersection.
We need to slow the traffic on 84 th. The crosswalk will make it safer for children and others crossing 84th.
Very hard to turn from 209a onto 84th safely.
