Workers install a new tactile walking surface at Albert and Athol streets earlier this month.
The city has installed a new tactile walking surface it says will assist those with vision problems cross the road safely.
The intersection of Albert and Athol streets now have the new surfaces, which can be felt underfoot and help alert people of hazards such as moving traffic.
“Projects like these are just a small part of our commitment to make it easier and safer for everyone when they move around our city,” states Councillor Bob Chapman in a news release.
