We, the undersigned residents and concerned citizens of Wynnum, bring to your attention a pressing matter regarding the need for a pedestrian crossing on Berrima Street, specifically between the Waterloo Bay Hotel and the Majestic Cinem.

Issue: The current lack of a designated pedestrian crossing poses a significant challenge to walkability and accessibility in this area, jeopardising the safety of pedestrians attempting to cross Berrima Street.

Reasons for a Pedestrian Crossing:

1. Walkability: Berrima Street is a crucial pathway for residents and visitors alike, connecting the Waterloo Bay Hotel to the recently established Majestic Cinema. A designated pedestrian crossing would enhance walkability and encourage a healthier lifestyle by facilitating safer pedestrian movement.

2. 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.

3. 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.

We, the undersigned, believe that addressing this issue is vital for the well-being and safety of our community. We request the implementation of a pedestrian crossing to promote walkability, enhance accessibility, and contribute to the overall improvement of our neighborhood, while also addressing the infrastructure needs associated with population growth.
