| Southbound on Burke Road near Burke Lake Road |
Here's another episode of "What Were They Thinking?"
The sidewalk on the right continues northbound on Burke Road while left ends abruptly near the stormdrain opening (lower left). Circled in yellow is a staircase that descends into the Raintree community near Lake Braddock. While pedestrians should walk to the crosswalk at the signal at Burke Lake Road, the deadend sidewalk encourages them to stay on the east side of the street or cross immediately without a crosswalk at a point on northbound Burke Road where traffic is heading downhill. A dangerous mix.
