Steve Contry, councilor of Woughton ward, has been petitioning for more than a year to have the fence
\nseparating the hospital and busy 70 mph highway repaired. His pleas have been unanswered as the
\naccident rate continues to rise. Three people have been killed already and more injured. Most victims
\nare honest men and women that cross the road between the damaged piece of fence just to get to
\nthe bus stop on the other side. The bus runs infrequently so missing could a real problem for many.
\nContry has campaigned relentlessly to the city officials to simply repair the fence and divert pedestrian
\nusage to the assigned underpass just a few blocks down. Unfortunately, nothing has been done thus
\nfar. However he has remained diligent, and has been simultaneously educating pediatricians about the
\ndangers and encouraging them to be safer and use the assigned walkway beyond the fence.<\/p>\n
