I live in Cromer with my family and it’s very dangerous crossing Fisher Rd North anywhere and I’m worried how many more people need to be injured before changes are done to make it safer.

Our kids have schools at cromer high and cromer public. I can not let my kids walk to school for the last 10 years as there is no crossings and it is so dangerous and not worth the risk. 1 of my children has asd. He would be allowed to walk if there were crossings. This stops him from being more independent than he could be. There is a skate park with many children that cross everyday. Without a crossing there will be more accidents.

This is important for our community and we need action

My daughter attends Cromer High School and know first hand how bad the traffic is especially around the Shell Service Station.

I recognise how dangerous this road is for pedestrians trying to cross. We need safe crossings.

Sara Camier (Sydney, 2020-06-30)

I travel along that section of road a couple of time a day dropping my kids to either dance or soccer. I have seen so many near misses, something needs to be done before a child is killed. this particular area has changed so much over the past 5 years the roads and safety measure for school children and the general public as well as general traffic flow has not kept up with these developments. The time is NOW! Getting out of south creek road (turning right from petrol station) is horrendous in the afternoons, with busses, trucks it needs to be addressed.

My daughter is a year 7 student at Cromer secondary college . I was unaware until this year when she started how unsafe it was to cross .

Fran Newton (Beacon Hill, 2020-06-30)

Something needs to be done now.

Anthony Olson (Balgowlah, 2020-06-30)

We need a safe place to cross to the shops, daycare, cafe, skate park and football fields. Visibility and parking on this stretch of road is constantly difficult.

Anna Cooper (Cromer, 2020-06-30)

#427

I work as a nurse in the area and agree this is a serious problem.

Wendy Ward (Mona Vale, 2020-06-30)

#428

This is a very busy dangerous road with many blind spots. A crossing is a great idea and maybe a lower speed limit also.

Katie Thomas (Dee Why, 2020-06-30)

It’s a no-brainer!
Safety should always be Number one topic.

Janina Loewe (Narraweena, 2020-06-30)

#432

Our Cromer public school and it’s near by facilities around the school vicinity are all high risk areas with near misses at the school on the poorly marked crossings and the skate park and st Mathews farm areas to James Morgan Cromer high and the soccer fields. Our children do no have the councils support despite the community, schools and clubs begging for a urgent action.

Kristy Yeadon (Cromer, 2020-06-30)

I use the intersection of Fisher Rd and South Creek Road every day between 3.30pm and 4pm and it is impossible to make a right turn safely into that intersection due to heavy traffic. My daughter crosses at that pedestrian island at the service station at 3.45-4pm 4 weekdays and it is unsafe! Please put in a roundabout with pedestrian crossing or traffic lights 🚦 To make the intersection safe for all road users.

Kylie Govers (Collaroy, 2020-06-30)

#435

I have children at daycare here and I worry about our safety crossing the road every day. A crossing where the children’s daycare, chemist and the post office are just makes sense

Fiona Evans (Cromer, 2020-06-30)

#440

It’s about time we kept our citizens safe - that is a busy road kindy kids kindy parents cross there all the time - please do something now

Wendy Baker (Sydney, 2020-06-30)

#441

I use the areas outlined above and agree with what is needed.

Elizabeth Gray (Dee why, 2020-06-30)

#442

This was an accident waiting to happen. The traffic is too fast, visibility is poor and there is no pedestrian safety. Fix it.

Bronwyn Nakhla (Wheeler Heights, 2020-06-30)

#443

Kids should be able to walk safely around community.

Johanna Curtis (Dee Why, 2020-06-30)

#444

I frequent this area and it is unsafe. I nearly had a car accident driving out of St Matthews farm carpark. Can not see at all and the cars drive way too fast. A friend of mine also saved a little girl last week from getting hit by a car when she ran out of the skate park. Traffic lights are also another option.

Yanda Morison (Collaroy plateau, 2020-06-30)

#447

I truly believe that not having a crossing opposite the preschool is to dangerous for the children and families.

Mandy Breitfuss (Cromer, 2020-06-30)

#452

Safe pedestrian zones for families, seniors and children should always be available in every suburb planning and redevelopment, surely there is no need to plea for this basic requirement.

Vicki Dunn (Newcastle, 2020-06-30)

#455

I'm signing because there is a lack of safe crossing spots along both Fischer Rd North for pedestrians. Many times I have seen children running across the roads and risking injury as there is no safe crossing points.

Keith Gray (Cromer, 2020-06-30)

#456

I live in this area and am concerned by the number of accidents and close calls. I’m really worried there may be more serious accidents too.

MEGAN Bridge (Cromer, 2020-06-30)

I have family close by who I want safe as possible

Crossing roads in Cromer is dangerous. As are some intersections for driving in general.

Caroline Keegan (Cromer, 2020-06-30)

This is a serious danger for children in the area

Tristan Bethell (Sydney, 2020-06-30)

I see the potential for a horrible pedestrian accident In this area and would like to solve the problem before this happens not after.

Vicki Morrison (Beacon Hill, 2020-06-30)

Karin Shepherd (Allambie Heights, 2020-06-30)

Not enough parking so need to cross road without pedestrian crossing and very poor lighting on the road at night

Jason Cook (sydney, 2020-06-30)

#489

I use to love up the road in wheeler heights. I have tried crossing that road numerous times to get to the shops or walking to school. I now have a baby boy and I wouldn’t let him go anywhere near that road. So many motorists drive so fast past the shops making the road super dangerous!

Fiona Birtwistle (Sydney, 2020-06-30)

#490

I drive tgst way every day and it is a nightmare. Kids and cars everywhere and no place to cross

Jane Page (Wheeler Heights, 2020-06-30)

#491

The road is dangerous. I'm anxious every time I cross it. It is hard for pedestrians to see cars coming round bends in the road.

Rosie De Giglio (Cromer, 2020-06-30)

#492

I have been a witness of a pedestrian being hit at this same intersection last year.

Debbie Reilly (Sydney, 2020-06-30)

#495

We live in Cromer and are very close to the areas noted of concern. I am in full support that some additional street / traffic safety requirements are urgently needed for the safety of our community and all that visit this busy area.

Polly Breglec (Cromer, 2020-06-30)

My kids need a safe place to cross the road

Brook Eadie (Sydney, 2020-06-30)

I am signing because crossing to the skate park is dangerous.

Clare Jones (Beacon Hill, 2020-06-30)

#503

I am playing and coaching soccer at St Matthews Farm four to five days a week and have witnessed numerous near misses between pedestrians and cars when people try to cross this road. As well as a crossing --- which should be a mandatory addition given the amount of kids using the oval and the skate park --- the street parking sign at the northern end of St Matthews Farm carpark needs to be moved further south along South Creek Rd to allow better vision for cars coming out of that carpark.

Darren McDermott (Cromer, 2020-06-30)

I’m a resident of Cromer with children and frequently use this very busy dangerous road

Annette Ryan (Cromer Heights, 2020-06-30)

I agree with this petition

Diane Sly (Cromer, 2020-06-30)

I have said for years that this road is so dangerous. The round-about at Toronto Avenue is also vey dangerous with lots of children crossing the road.

Jennifer Davidson (Wheeler Heights, 2020-06-30)

I’m a local and have 3 children who are also affected.

Sheila Zakhar-Malone (Cromer, 2020-06-30)

#512

My son is a student at Cromer High School and I worry about him crossing even at the school pedestrian crossing as cars go through without stopping.
The area near the service station is dreadful and I avoid it at all costs.

Lisa Lester (Cromer, 2020-06-30)

#515

My mum is on a mobility scooter and can not get to the chemist. Everytime she goes she nearly gets hit by a car crossing and has now lost all confidence and will not go out at all

Debby Johnson (Cromer, 2020-07-01)

#518

It was only a matter of time before someone was hurt. Which has now happened.
Crossings are needed NOW.

Ian Evanson (Cromer, 2020-07-01)

#520

I’m signing this because I live in the area with 2 young boys who are often at st Matt’s and we often struggle to cross this road after training and games on the weekend.

Jo Smith (Cromer, 2020-07-01)

#521

I'm signing because my daughter plays for CC Strikers and trains/plays soccer at St. Matts farm. Also my sister and niece/nephew live near St Matt's Farm and use the skate park regularly.
Something has to be done NOW.

Kellie Gross (Mona Vale, 2020-07-01)

#523

This is important to me as I drive along this road every day and my daughter goes to school here. I see kids dangerously crossing the road on a weekly basis and This makes me very nervous as a driver and with a child walking in this area.

Josie Loko (Dee why, 2020-07-01)

#529

I live locally and am in the area daily - dropping my child at childcare, visiting the post office or pharmacy, grabbing coffee or dropping off at soccer training, ballet or the skate park. This area is busy and important for our community yet so dangerous with nowhere to cross the road and too many more accidents to come. Please help!

Rebecca Edwards (Wheeler Heights, 2020-07-01)

#531

I live in Cromer and run daily down South Creek Road.
I ran passed the lady only moments after the accident on Monday and completely agree this area is a mess.
I have four children and worry about their safety in this area.

Kate Pap (Cromer, 2020-07-01)

#532

Such a dangerous stretch of road with so many children around, sporting clubs, schools, skate parks, dance studios shops and multiple kindergartens. Why wait until someone gets hurt?

Megan Lynch (Sydney, 2020-07-01)

#536

I’m signing because I am nearing 70yrs old and my Chemist and newsagent are here. It is often very difficult to safely park and cross streets to Go to my shops.

As a long time resident of Wheeler Heights, I travel the local roads on a daily basis. I have witnessed many near misses between vechile and pedestrians. With the development of high density residential complexes, commercial estates and the increased visitors to council facility’s like parks and skate parks, the council needs to take responsibility to ensure the community is safe and provide the infrastructure, including safety devices. Council needs to stop putting us at risk. We demand a pedestrian crossing near the shops and the local facility on south creek road.

I have worked for many years around the cromer area. I agree that there is a lack of road safety In the local area

Jacqui Walsh (Sydney, 2020-07-01)

Safety of children around roads needs prioritising.

Claire Jenkins (Collaroy, 2020-07-01)

#543

I drive that way 3 mornings a week to work and back what a scary drive as it’s so busy parents Doing picking ups and drop offs, people going to work all sorts of issues happening in just that small part of that section.

Marian Young (Collaroy plateau, 2020-07-01)

#544

I care for people with a disability crossings are needed in Fisher Rd North in particular for school children leaving local schools

Janet Kirkwood (Cromer, 2020-07-01)

#546

I live in south creek road and was near by the the accident happened on Tuesday. The whole area is an accident waiting to happen. I back my car into this street everyday and walk my child to school and daycare using these streets. Proper crossings are needed.

Libby Forsyth (Sydney, 2020-07-01)

#547

Safety of,pedestrians should be on council's priority list

Armine Warian (Frenchs Forest, 2020-07-01)

#548

I work in the area and I find it quite unsafe. Even more so because of the children in the area and worry for their safety

Mariana Abdo (Sydney, 2020-07-02)

#551

Because we live here and need to make it safer for padestrians and car drivers

Tammy Simon (Wheeler heights, 2020-07-02)

#555

This is a very dangerous road and there a lot of kids constantly crossing

Mark Lind (Sydney, 2020-07-02)

#558

This is so dangerous and many kids use the ovals and skate park - this should be a no break we for the council. Speed limit should also be lowered.

Rachel Cernecca (Wheeler heights, 2020-07-02)

#559

There needs a crossing so people are safe and not seriously injured by cars
Very unsafe and dangerous.

Suzie Patterson (Dee Why, 2020-07-02)

#565

I live in Cromer and there is not enough pedestrian crossings in the area at all (or footpaths). My children will grow up here and the area needs to be safer for them.

Amie Benge (Cromer, 2020-07-03)

#567

This section of road is extremely dangerous from the service station around to the roundabout. It has too many exit and entry points with no room for error. Several side streets, business, business centres, parks, cars parked on both sides of the road, truck turning/parking, children crossing, walker crossing, bikers crossing. No designated crossing or lights at any point. I have witnessed too many near misses and at no point do cars slow down! Petitions have been ignored. I do hope it doesn't take an actual death to change this situation.

Linda Robertson (Cromer, 2020-07-03)

#569

I agree that this stretch of road needs to be improved for pedestrian safety. In general I have observed significant disregard for others’ safety around many streets in Cromer as they are rarely monitored by police mobile patrols, e.g Willandra Rd.

Lily Clements (Cromer, 2020-07-03)

#570

This area is dangerous and our kids play there all the time!!

Wendy Boyd (Collaroy, 2020-07-03)

#575

I am signing this because there are lives at risk! I drive that road every day and am so nervous that a child is going to either run out, or someone is going to get out of their car right in front of me, similar to the incident the other day. I am surprised it hasn't happened until now. The road is so narrow, particularly when you have cars parked on both sides of the road and huge trucks utilising it regularly.
I have watched that road become busier and busier over the years. I lived in Penrith Ave growing up, and crossing south creek road even 30 years ago was dangerous. It was busy enough back then! Now we have the Skate park, a childcare centre, a business park amongst other things that have all majorly increased traffic flow and pedestrian activity in that area. It has been an accident waiting to happen. I have just heard too that the lady who was hit has sadly since passed away. This is one life too many. Please PLEASE help us keep our children and community safe.

Melissa Grantham (Sydney, 2020-07-04)

My daughter walks along that road 3-4 times a week and needs to cross

David Bradley (Mona Vale, 2020-07-05)

#578

As a resident in an adjoining street. I have been saying this would happen for years and sadly it has. So many people have flagged this over the years and no one at council listened. The stupid decision to allow a chemist, news agency and child care Centre on the corner of Penrith was outrageous and the acts of stupidity I see on a daily basis from drivers here is frightening. I think the council should be sued for negligence by any party who is injured or killed.

Steve Buchanan (Sydney, 2020-07-05)

#582

Residents have needed this for many years. St Matt’s is extremely busy in soccer and football seasons, with parents needing to park somewhere to deliver their kids to the games. Kids often have to cross at dangerous points, it surprises me that there haven’t been more accidents.

Loren Harris (Cromer Heights, 2020-07-10)

#583

I totally agree with the need for at least one crossing in this area. In addition to the issues raised in the petition, the roads in this area also lead to the Narrabeen Lake trail with many children and families riding through the area on bikes or on foot. I cannot let my children walk or cycle to any of the sporting facilities in the area by themselves because it's just too dangerous for them to cross the roads.

Jacqueline Braams (Cromer, 2020-07-10)

#585

It’s imperative that we look after children trying to cross this road

Alanah Ferguson (Sydney, 2020-07-13)

#586

Upgrades to this area for pedestrian safety are long overdue

Susie Halverson (Cromer, 2020-07-15)

#588

we have to look.after the students of cromer campus, also the parents dropping their kids off. Definitely need a safer crossing, so there is no more accidents.
