Decision

The Committee carried the recommendation unanimously.

Background

The City has received complaints from pedestrians that vehicles travelling along Rothschild Avenue, Rosebery travel at speed through the existing marked pedestrian crossings, at the intersection with Cressy Street, and fail to give-way for pedestrians. Raising the pedestrian crossings at this intersection would reduce vehicle speeds and increase pedestrian safety and accessibility.
