The right turn out of Barrington shopping centre is set to be cut off in spring and changes will be made to parking on Barrington St. Photo: Geoff SloanThe long-awaited removal of the right turn out of Barrington shopping centre onto Barrington St is set to be completed by spring. The details of the plan will now go to the shopping centre’s management for final approval. Potter said the exit where the right turn will be removed is frequented by pedestrians, particularly elderly people, who cross the road to get to the shopping centre, Spreydon Library and the playground at Barrington Park. She said more will need to be done to improve safety for pedestrians and motorists near Barrington shopping centre once the right is removed and the community board will discuss this. A Barrington shopping centre spokesperson was not available for comment.
