Baker Drive in Dartmouth Needs A Crosswalk

On Baker Drive in Dartmouth there are seniors homes and condominiums, car dealerships, a Kent store, a Sobeys, a bank, a drugstore, there's even a Tim Hortons and a bus stop on either side of the street. But there are no crosswalks.Well, there's one at the very bottom of the street and another at the very top of the street. If you've ever walked up Baker Drive you'll know it's a very long street. And you'll know that there are many seniors living on the street. If one of those seniors wanted to get to the bus stop that is located across the street from their home, they are expected to first walk to one of the crosswalks at the bottom or the top of Baker Drive, cross over, then walk back. Traffic isn't always heavy but it's always steady. Besides, isn't it illegal to cross a street unless you're in a crosswalk. I took a few pictures and a video today to give you an idea of what we're up against.
