The major project will transform current public transit options for Carlingwood residents but until then some say it’s creating accessibility issues for pedestrians.

The major project will transform current public transit options for Carlingwood residents but until then some say it’s creating accessibility issues for pedestrians. 

“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.
