The following residents of the ACT draw to the attention of the Assembly that there is a missing link in the path network along the south side of Weston Street in Yarralumla, between Guilfoyle Street and Hopetoun Circuit.
This route is used by children coming from Deakin to Yarralumla Primary School and those coming from Yarralumla to Canberra Girls Grammar Junior School in Deakin, as well by nearby Yarralumla residents walking to and from Deakin shops. The ACT Government is currently upgrading the adjacent paths and crossings along the west side of Hopetoun Circuit under Adelaide Avenue. Completing the missing link along Weston Street will connect these upgraded paths with the existing Yarralumla footpath network, providing greater pedestrian safety and realising the full benefit of the path upgrade project.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call on the ACT Government to construct a path along the southern side of Weston Street in Yarralumla between Guilfoyle Street and Hopetoun Circuit, to complete the path network in this area.
