Remains of the Indigenous Seven Feathers Crosswalk were removed from Albert Street in Cobourg less than a week after it was unveiled.
The crosswalk started pealing due to recent rains said Chief Administrative Officer Tracey Vaughan on Tuesday, October 5, 2021.
Unfortunately, due to the recent rains happening so close to the installation we experienced issues with moisture being absorbed into the raised concrete, and the area did not dry and cure to our satisfaction.”
Public Works Division will be resealing and priming the concrete again, “to ensure the best adherence and longevity for the Indigenous “7 Feathers’ Crosswalk.”
Works Department staff are working to ensure that the orange paint adheres properly to the crosswalk, and will be reapplying the crosswalk on that base.
“The crosswalk will also be built into our annual maintenance budget to ensure it remains well taken care in the future.”
Cobourg Mayor John Henderson did not wish to comment.
