The town just approved the crosswalk installation. We finally have a safe way to reach the plaza on foot. Thank you for making this happen.

Constant traffic at this intersection makes walking to the shops impossible. I am meeting with town officials to highlight these safety risks.

The momentum behind this request is incredible. Local officials are starting to take notice of our need for safe passage.

I certainly see advantages and opportunities if done right. Of course, we should do this for the safety and well-being of our Arrive neighbors. We can add to that all sorts of ideas of how a crosswalk, in combination with the commuter rail, Target, Stop and Shop, and then the other surrounding businesses could boost up our town. I hope this is given all the attention it deserves!
Much needed at this intersection. I've seen so many people trying to cross here and it's not safe at all. People walk to the stores and the train station. Lots of children live in the Arrive neighborhood.
I’m happy to sign. I know it may require longer wait times but I’ve seen too many near misses of people crossing.
Please approve the petition as we face difficulty in crossing over the signal. We take our kids to gymboree in summer and it's highly risk to cross the signal with kids
Pedestrian walk is required to connect the other side for ppl not having driving permits.
For safety of pedestrians who have no option but to walk
It is a must for the safety of people.

People need to be able to cross Route 9 on foot to access stores and train station (finishing the sidewalk along Otis St would be really nice too!). Make Westborough pedestrian friendly!
