Have just witnessed dangerous traffic and crossings in the Cromer area. Traffic needs to slow down and more crossings needed in Cromer and on Fisher Road Dee WhyHannah Kleboe (Dee Why, 2020-06-29)

I was there on the weekend and almost got hit myself. Depending on what so parked, it can be a blind corner and so dangerous with the skate park and pitch on one side and cafe on other. Reasons for kids to be crossing the road and it’s needs to be safer.Kate Elliott (Wheeler Heights, 2020-06-29)

I’m signing this because I have worked at my kindy for 5 years on this street. Crossing this road everyday. It is so dangerous and I have found myself catching my breath countless times crossing that road as cars pull out and come racing round the corner. Make us all feel safe by putting a crossing on this road.Elise Gale (Sydney, 2020-06-29)

I used to live on the Northern Beaches and so many areas we have cars who refuse to slow down and the risk for people crossing roads is a fight for life and death. Make the roads safer by keeping pedestrians and cars separateReyna Adams (Kellyville, 2020-06-29)

As a resident and a mother of 3 children who use a number of these facilities I have seen how dangerous this section of our community is. Trucks fly along these roads, kids are riding scooters/bikes, school children are walking to and from school, cars/boats are parked all along the roads...it’s chaotic! There is no where for our children to safely cross the road to get to school, access Cromer Park and access St Matthews Reserve- it needs to be rectified immediately.Gabrielle Foldes (Cromer, 2020-06-29)

South Creek rd is far too dangerous for people to cross over by the pharmacy/post office. With limited parking for a childcare centre, post office, pharmacy, skate park etc. I was at an accident there today & it was so distressing. We need a crossing there.Teneile Miles (Sydney, 2020-06-29)

I'm signing because I am worried about the safety of my children and myself when accessing our local space via our local streets. I'm sick of seeing cars speeding up our street, around blind corners, when there are kids living in every house. I'm sick of hearing burnouts, donuts, and rapid accelerations throughout the Cromer Industrial Estate every night of the week.Nadia Greatbatch (Sydney, 2020-06-29)

I live in Cromer with young children and struggle to cross the road myself safely as it is dangerous with the number of vehicles in this area. A crossing would definitely be a brilliant and sensible option for all residents and visitors.Kylie Kneller (Cromer, 2020-06-29)
#267

I am a local resident, my 3 boys use St Matt’s and Cromer Park for soccer and and we also use the bike tracks as well as frequenting the cafes and local businesses over the years ! I am so sick and tired of constantly worrying about the safety of my boys around this area ! We have witnessed numerous accidents and near misses in this area ! Please do something about this before someone is killed - it’s only a matter of time with the addition of the skatepark !!Gayle Gregory (Sydney, 2020-06-29)

This area is unbelievably unsafe. With so much continuous traffic, parked cars, trucks, boats etc and the community using this road for access to childcare, school, the skate park, cafes, the post office, chemist and local businesses; this has been a disaster waiting to happen for a long time and now sadly a disaster has occurred. Please make this area safe for all that need to use it.Anita Ovenden (Collaroy, 2020-06-29)

I used to live in Cromer Hts until 2001 and used these roads every day. My children used the park facilities and went to the local school.

My granddaughter teaches and my great grandchildren attend the childcare centre on South Creek Rd. I have attended this centre on many occasions and crossing the road is a nightmare. Does it take someone losing a life to change things. Prevention is much better than naming the crossing after some poor soul. ThanksLois Muir-Mitchell (Campbelltown, 2020-06-29)
