Reason for this Petition

The following residents of the ACT draw the attention of the Assembly: 

- That residents of Old Narrabundah must cross Sturt Avenue to access all schools, public, independent, and Catholic for all children year's 3 and above.

 - That the ACT Government encourages active transport methods for school aged children. 

- There is no safe ‘on-level’ crossing for school children across Sturt Avenue north of the intersection of Captain Cook Crescent and Sturt Avenue. 

- That Sturt Avenue has a posted speed limit in this section of 70km/h.

 -That there have been multiple car accidents at the intersection of Sturt Avenue and McMillan Crescent where both pedestrians and vehicle traffic must cross Sturt Avenue.

Requested Actions

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call upon the ACT Government to install the safest crossing option by either adding an ‘on-level’ crossing on the northern section of Sturt Avenue between Hume Place roundabout and Boolimba Crescent or signalise the McMillan Crescent and Sturt Avenue Intersection with a pedestrian crossing.
