Some residents in Castleridge in northeast Calgary are asking the city to install lights to make what they say is a notoriously bad intersection safer. More than 1,600 people have signed an online petition to get the city to fix the intersection at Castleridge Boulevard and Westwinds Drive where accidents have become common. "We have ringside seats to the intersection," said Roop Rai, who works at a building overlooking it and is spearheading the online petition doing the rounds on social media. "We see often there's a lot of traffic and within seconds the situation at this intersection turns frightening," she said. Rai says she's leaving the online petition open for now while she continues to gather support.
