A history of pedestrian fatalities along a highway that runs through a southern Manitoba community has prompted new infrastructure changes that aim to make the area safer.
A new set of traffic lights are now operational on Highway 59 which runs through Brokenhead Ojibway Nation. The improvement comes months after a tragedy witnessed by several residents.
The Brokenhead Ojibway Nation has been raising concerns about public safety at the intersection for several years, which has been the site of fatal accidents.
