Responce

After about 2 weeks i got a responce from Woollahra Council.

Dear Ben

I refer to your email dated 13 October 2008 regarding a request for a pedestrian crossing on Bellevue Road, Bellevue Hill.

It should be noted that the provision of pedestrian crossings are subject to a number of warrants set down by the RTA and are usually installed along defined pedestrian routes. The warrants relate to a number of issues including vehicular and pedestrian volumes as well as safety issues such as sight distance. Due to the bends in Bellevue Road at this location it is unlikely that the sight distance warrants would be met.

It is therefore not possible to install a pedestrian crossing across at this location.

Your concerns about the vehicle speeds in this section of road are currently being investigated by Council’s officers. Thankyou for your input, the officer currently looking at this matter has been given a copy of your email to consider as part of the investigation.

I trust the above information is satisfactory.

Yours sincerely
Kellie Richardson
