Gabriella Farquhar5 years ago Part 3 - parking bays at junction of Henderson St and Melville Terrace:I am concerned that adding a parking bay on the east side of this junction, which will also be opposite a bus stop, will hugely reduce visibility for pedestrians crossing here and for cars leaving the junction to join Henderson Street. The junction needs to be kept clear and the parking bays on the east side and opposite corner should not be added. The majority of properties here have off street parking.Part 4 - Widening the footway and moving the bus stop further into Henderson Street:The current zebra crossing is extremely dangerous. The number of times I've stepped onto the crossing and vehicles don't stop. It is already an accident waiting to happen. Adding infrastructure before this on the east side will further limit visibility both for pedestrians joining the crossing and for drivers looking to see if people are waiting to cross. Unless traffic truly is calmed then this crossing would be better converted to a pelican crossing.Part 6 -adding a zebra crossing to Fountain Road:I agree Fountain Road does need a zebra crossing, however, I don't think this is the best location. With the bus stop on the south side of the junction I'm concerned that visibility will be hugely reduced for pedestrians trying to cross from the east side to the west side of Fountain Road and that drivers will not be able to see pedestrians either on or about to join the crossing. It will also create congestion and confusion at what is already a very busy junction at peak hours. Moving the junction further south along Fountain road might be a better location.Keir Street and Westerton Drive both have really fast traffic as these are seen as cut-throughs. What mitigations are planned to reduce the speed in these streets?
