Stockdale Avenue, Coburg

Adem SOMYUREK (Northern Metropolitan) (10:01): On another matter, I have received complaints from several residents about the roundabout and the pedestrian crossing on Stockdale Avenue, Pentridge, in Coburg. The area has a lot of foot traffic, as students walk through Pentridge on their way to and from school, and many locals use this road to access Pentridge and the 19 tram. The road is also the only access point to Stockdale Avenue for cars in the eastern part of the larger Pentridge area. Local residents are fearful that these intersections are so dangerous that a fatality will take place at this location if remedial action is not taken immediately. I would urge authorities to heed the concerns of my constituents before fatalities occur.
