Motion: (Shetty/Byrne)

3.   Notes that while vehicular traffic is forecast to decrease in late 2023 when Westconnex opens the tunnel bypass between Iron Cove Bridge and Rozelle interchange, there is an urgent need to improve safety for pedestrians now;

 

4.   Writes to Transport for NSW to request the following improvements: 

 

a)   Reiterate the need to investigate implementing a 40km/h School Zone between Wellington Street and Withcombe Street on Victoria Road;

b)   Investigate changing the light filtering pattern to remove competition between pedestrians and motorists turning left onto Victoria Road;
