Campaign Overview
The intersection of 202 Street and 86 Avenue has become a significant safety concern for pedestrians in Langley. This busy intersection sees high volumes of vehicle traffic while lacking adequate safety infrastructure for people crossing on foot.
In April 2025, Strong Towns Langley launched a community petition campaign to document safety concerns and advocate for immediate improvements to protect pedestrians at this dangerous crossing.
Our "Have You Almost Been Hit Crossing the Street Here?" petition has resonated strongly with the community, collecting firsthand accounts of near-misses and safety incidents that highlight the urgent need for action.
Our Petition Poster: Positioned at the intersection to gather community feedback about pedestrian safety concerns.
