Reason for this Petition

The following residents of the ACT draw the attention of the Assembly that Year 8 students at Melrose High School have noticed that crossing Mawson Place (the street in between 7-11 and Dominos at the Mawson shops) is really frustrating and dangerous.

Many students from Melrose and Marist cross this street after school. As well as students, many people cross this street over the course of the day, whether it is elderly people out for a coffee, or people who work in any of those shops, and just people out for some fresh air.

Putting a pedestrian crossing right near here would increase safety for not only students, but also for the overall community.

Requested Actions

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to add a new pedestrian crossing at Mawson shops, between Mawson Place and the main shopping district, right in front of the Italian Continental Bakery.
