Photo: Geoff SloanResidents are finally seeing action at a shopping centre entrance this week after more than a decade of concerns for the welfare of pedestrians accessing the area. Night works to improve pedestrian safety at the Barrington shopping centre entrance have started and will include removing the right turn out of the complex on to Barrington St. Residents and the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board have called for the right turn to be banned for the past 10 years but were met with many delays. The right turn has already been permanently closed, traffic will be detoured to other entrances and lane shifts will be put in place.
