Reason for this Petition

This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that:
• the Hawker Group Centre is a thriving local shopping precinct;
• hundreds of residents live nearby in units and multi-unit buildings located south of the shops;
• walking to the shops and the Hawker Community Garden from these areas requires crossing Coniston Street, which can often be busy; and
• a raised pedestrian crossing in Coniston Street would make it safer for pedestrians walking to and from the shops.

Requested Actions

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call upon the ACT Government to install a raised pedestrian crossing in Coniston Street, Hawker, linking the existing footpath on the north side of the street with the laneway opposite (between 7 Coniston St and 9 Coniston St).
