Editor:
The Seniors Advisory Council of Williams Lake and Area would like to thank the City of Williams Lake and their maintenance staff for moving forward with the recommended improvements to ensure Williams Lake becomes an accessible senior-friendly community.
The improvements completed to date are audio-visual crossing signals at Second Avenue and Oliver Street, Third Avenue and Oliver Street, and Eighth Avenue and Oliver Street.
The sidewalk letdowns in the downtown shopping area allow those using walkers, wheelchairs, and scooters easy access to crossings and the stores they wish to patronize.
We are asking for three more handicapped parking stalls in the downtown shopping area. We are also asking all motorists to honour the marked handicapped parking stalls by leaving them for those who are dealing with mobility issues.
Thank you, Williams Lake, for your consideration.
Audrey MacLise, chair
Seniors Advisory Council of Williams Lake and Area
