What safety measures will be implemented for pedestrians going to Coaldale Prairie Winds Secondary?

To ensure pedestrian safety, the Town of Coaldale is constructing an at-grade pedestrian crossing at the signalized intersection of Land O' Lakes Blvd. and HWY 3. The crossing will allow safe passage across HWY 3 using traffic signals. Construction will start in early summer 2024 and is expected to be completed by Labour Day.
