Traffic Calming Measures - Camp Hill

As most of you know excessive speeding in our local area has finally resulted in a nasty accident on the corner of The Promenade and Sydney Avenue on 28th July 2009. How no one was hurt badly is a mystery (See weblink).

On the back of numerous incidents over the last 2 years I have written to Shayne Sutton (local member) who has informed me that traffic calming measures will not be included in the 2009 - 2010 budget that was delivered on the 15th June 2009. In other words our neighbouring streets have recently had calming measures introduced but we have missed out (Arroll Street, Kennington Road, Allambie Street).

We all want a safe area to live in and this excessive speeding throughout our neighbourhood needs to be stopped. In the last 3 years we have witnessed numerous incidents and it is only a matter of time before a car ends up in our yard and a loved one is badly hurt or worse.

People still use The Promenade as a cut through road to Creek Road and a racetrack at that. Some speed bumps would put an end to this and make our streets a safer place.

I am asking you to sign a petition so we can take this to Shayne Sutton with any comments you may have on this issue. Perhaps by grouping together as a community we can get some movement on this problem.

Thanks for your time.
