Safety concerns for new N.E. C-train station
A new C-train station is raising concerns about safety in the N.E. community of Martindale.
When finished, the LRT will cross Martindale Blvd. in between homes and near a lot of young families in the area.
But, resident Maurice Jeter is worried about what will happen if kids aren't careful and paying attention.
Transit spokesman David Danchuk tells CTV, numerous safety mechanisms will be put in place, including pedestrian gates, crossing arms and signals. The train will also stop before crossing the road.

Thing is, this has already been addressed and the community was consulted via a community consultation committee. The station has been pretty much idiot (and kid) proofed. There will be one platform on either side of Martindale Blvd. and the trains will stop before crossing the road each and every time.
