Safe pedestrian zebra crossings in Pomona
Eligibility - Queensland residentsPO Box 147

Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House the urgent need to install a safe pedestrian zebra crossings on Factory Street and Hill Street, Pomona.
These roads experience a high volume of traffic, including large 40-tonne quarry trucks from the Kin Kin Quarry, posing significant safety risks. Currently, there is no safe method for pedestrians to cross, resulting in a dangerous divide that hinders cross-town connectivity.
There is a dog park and kindergarten on Hill Street, as well as a school bus stop on Factory Street. Children and families must navigate these busy roads without safe crossings, heightening the risk of accidents.
Recently, Factory Street underwent a speed limit review, which resulted in a reduction to 50 km/h due to the safety concerns associated with the traffic in the area. This indicates the recognition of the significant hazards present.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to do all within its power to install safe pedestrian zebra crossings on Factory Street near the train station and on Hill Street across to the Cooroora Creek dog park, as a matter of urgency.
