 Kat THEOPHANOUS (Northcote) presented a petition bearing 720 signatures:

Issue:

This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly the safety risks faced by students and community members at two crossings:

a)   Darebin Road at Wilmoth Street; and

b)   Station Street at Collins Street in Thornbury.

These intersections currently lack adequate protections for pedestrians and cyclists and present a safety risk to those using public and active transport, especially school children.

Action:

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly call upon the Government to commission a traffic safety audit of these two intersections in order to obtain expert, evidence-based recommendations for treatments that will improve public and active transport user safety in these areas.
