Reason for this Petition

This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that:

Jamison is a growing and thriving centre, but some residents find it increasingly difficult to be able to cross the busy road to get to the shops or even the local bus stop.

Requested Actions

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call on the Government to:

Upgrade the C5 cycle path through Macquarie and Cook, construct raised pedestrian crossings along the C5 cycle route at Catchpole Street, Redfern Street and Lyttleton Crescent, reduce speed limits on Redfern Street and Lyttleton Crescent to increase safety; and conduct a further analysis of active travel needs around the Jamison Shops and catchment with a particular view of looking after the needs of people with a disability, people with mobility issues and people who ride, walk, wheel or push a pram or trolley around the shops, and invest funding in implement solutions.
