Reason for this Petition
The following residents of the ACT draw the attention of the Assembly to the dangerous state of Plimsoll Drive in Casey which is risking our safety.
School children are unsafe walking along a road with limited crossings, overgrown vegetation that blocks drivers’ vision, unfixed potholes, and frequent ‘brown outs’ in the lighting.
Additionally, roadkill is common on this road where it could be prevented. It's important to note all of these issues are compounded by the frequent hooning behaviour regularly exhibited on this stretch of road.
Requested Actions
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call on the ACT Government to:
- Install speed bumps along the road, including near the Casey Recreational Playground;
- Install clearer speed signs;
- Prune overgrown vegetation and trees that obscures drivers’ sight, including at the intersection of Plimsoll Drive and McGovern Street; and
- Urgently fix outstanding potholes.
