On a fairly quiet Thursday afternoon, he points to a crosswalk he thinks is problematic because of where it’s located.

“There’s a good chance of having an accident. The crosswalk should be on the other side” of a stop sign, he told Global News.

He says when St. Jude Elementary School is in session, cars drive past the crosswalk right after a stop sign.
