The concrete barriers at the corners of 116th Street and 77th Avenue in Belgravia were being removed Friday by city crews, which installed them just days ago. About 50, six-foot long concrete barriers were put in at the corners of the unusually broad intersection. Residents confusedCity spokesperson Holly Budd said the city received feedback from residents about "unsafe pedestrian activity occurring around the barriers." Earlier in the week, CBC News spoke to residents with concerns about the negative impact of the barriers. Henderson said after a small meeting with residents living around the intersection, the city realized the need to revisit the plan.
