The Department of Education has announced a new crossing on Vulture Street to support safer active travel for West End State School. The new crossing will be between the front of Sea Fuel and the police station.
But they only propose a school crossing rather than a permanent 24-hr zebra crossing or wombat crossing.
This section of road will only get busier, and kids often still need to access the school for after-hours sports and activities – making a permanent 24-hr zebra crossing at this site crucial.
West End Community Association, Queensland Walks, State MP Amy MacMahon, and I are all pushing for a wombat crossing on the site.
To get the Department to fund this, we need to show that there’s strong community backing for this.
Sign the petition and share it with your neighbours to help us secure a safer crossing for our community.
