The Town of Shaunavon has completed the installation of a lighted pedestrian crosswalk on Third Avenue between The Red Apple store and The Bridge Church.

The project was funded by an SGI Provincial Traffic Safety Fund Grant of $6500.

Director of Operations for the Town of Shaunavon, Ron Phillips, said this particular intersection needed some crosswalk lights.

"We've had some complaints and some close calls a year or so ago of people crossing at that location to get over to The Red Apple."

Shaunavon now has a total of 4 functioning lighted crosswalks which Phillips adds will increase road safety in the community.
