Pedestrians in the city are being blamed for dangerously distracting construction workers during the Princess Street Reconstruction Project. Municipal operations staff and on-site contractors say they are alarmed by the number of people disobeying signs and barricades to reach their destination on foot.
Sgt. Jeff LaFrance says it’s not only dangerous for pedestrians, but it also puts workers at risk because they are continually distracted. The city is asking pedestrians to obey construction signs.
