Improved pedestrian crossing for Springwood

After considerable feedback from across Division 1, works have begun along Cinderella Drive in Springwood to install raised pedestrian crossings.

Division 1 Councillor Lisa Bradley says the wombat crossings around Springwood Park will improve pedestrian safety, accessibility and reduce vehicle speeds.

Cr Bradley says the project aims to enhance safety on the road, especially considering the current and potential increase in pedestrian activity in the area.

‘This initiative is crucial for ensuring the safety of pedestrians with schools, Springwood Park, shopping centres, the dog park and many other local businesses contributing to the busyness of this area.’

Cr Bradley says the works also complement the new 1.2 km concrete shared path along Cinderella Drive between Springwood Road and Dennis Road that make it easier to walk, run or ride a bike through the area.

‘This latest work will build on this great project and make the area even more user-friendly.’
