Bring Back our Pedestrian Lights Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/bring-back-our-pedestrian-lights.html Online petition signatures en-us Fri, 10 Apr 2026 11:30 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mrs Vishaka Agarwal [Signature #136] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/11155657?utm_medium=rss Having no lights at the pedestrian crossing is an unwanted inconvenience to put it mildly. I have seen students from schools around the area waiting far too long in order to cross the street or being forced to jaywalk dangerously. At the Eldon Road crossing, the vehicles drive at speeds that are not very comfortable to watch when an elderly person or a young child is crossing the street. Reinstatement of the lights in the area would be greatly appreciated.

We would be grateful for the lights to be reinstated.

Thanks.

There is a dangerous mix of buses, taxis, vans and cars, with pedestrians and cyclists attempting to cross the road around and between motor vehicles in an attempt to access the Blagrave St./Valpy St. area. I anticipate the situation will be much worse in winter, with dark mornings and evenings. The situation at Jackson's Corner is nearly as bad.

Those with intellectual disabilities cannot understand where the lights have gone and have little or no 'road sense'.
