The Issue: The current lack of a designated pedestrian crossing poses a significant challenge to walkability and accessibility in this area, jeopardizing the safety of pedestrians attempting to cross Berrima Street. Reasons for a Pedestrian Crossing: Walkability: Berrima Street is a crucial pathway for residents and visitors alike, connecting the Waterloo Bay Leisure Centre to the recently established New Cinema. A designated pedestrian crossing would enhance walkability and encourage a healthier lifestyle by facilitating safer pedestrian movement. Accessibility: The absence of a pedestrian crossing creates a barrier for individuals with limited mobility, parents with strollers, and other vulnerable road users. Establishing a marked crossing would ensure equitable access to the amenities on either side of Berrima Street. Infrastructure for Population Growth: With Wynnum experiencing population growth, there is an increasing need for enhanced infrastructure to accommodate the rising number of residents. A pedestrian crossing at this strategic location is a crucial step in adapting our infrastructure to meet the demands of a growing community. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/pedestrian-crossing-at-berrima-st-wynnum
