The Christiansburg Town Council last week agreed to study ways to
improve pedestrian safety in the crosswalks around the town square
at Franklin and Main streets. The request came from Councilwoman Ann
Carter, who said she has been hearing increased complaints recently

down in a crosswalk. "We're just not pedestrian-friendly in that
area," she said. color Type first letter of feature OR type help for list of commands FIND S-DB DB OPT SS WRD QUIT QUIT Save options? YES NO GROUP YOU'VE SELECTED: QUIT YES login: c
