A number of rail crossings in London are about to undergo major safety improvements for both drivers and pedestrians.
In her first announcement as the federal Minister of Transport, Anita Anand made a stop in London on Friday, announcing more than $45 million for rail crossing improvements across the country. London will get funding for three crossings with a history of safety concerns.
“These crossings need to be safe for your kids to cross the street, for your teenagers to bike to school, for cars to get safely to their destinations and for goods to get to market,” Anand told members of the media at the official announcement, held next to the rail crossing on Oxford Street East in front of the General Dynamics plant. It’s one of the crossings slated for improvements.
