Plea from locals to make Cromer safe for pedestrians & residents!!

Comments

#1

As a local resident, my family plays soccer at St Matt’s and my daughter at the local dance school. These streets are dangerous to pedestrians and motorists and I fully support the proposed changes to make the area safer for everyone

#3

I’m signing because there are so many families and children that live in this area. More apartments have also been built in the close proximity of this area only bringing in more people and traffic. A crossing is very much needed to keep pedestrians safer in this high traffic area.
Thank you

We need a crossing urgently. Thank you.

I often have to cross this stretch of road and it is very difficult, the speed of the vehicles and the bends in the road make it very difficult to judge. Cromer residents live on the western side but so many reasons to cross to the eastern side such as highschool, bike tracks, gym, Cromer Park, access time transport and food shops. Please make it safe for all to cross.

I own a business located in Dympna Street and I live in Little Willandra Rd. My children go to Cromer Public School (next year one will attend Cromer High). I cross the road at least twice a day on foot, often with my children. The lack of crossing and the parked vehicles make it impossible to cross safely. Unless there is a change my daughter will not be allowed to go on foot to high school next year. Please add multiple crossings to South Creek Road.

We desperately need something to be done in this area. It is so dangerous with so many children in the area

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

It is dangerous for my children walking home from school

(Sydney, 2020-06-29)

This is an extremely busy road with absolutely no safe place for people to cross the road.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#15

I am a resident of Cromer and agree with all aspects. Something has to be done now!

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

I am a local mum and see every day how dangerous this road is.

(Sydney, 2020-06-29)

#21

My daughter attends a dance school in Cromer and will be attending Cromer High next year and I am concerned of her safety on crossing these busy roads.

(Narraweena, 2020-06-29)

#22

I have two children and we cross South Creek Road many times and it is not safe. This needs to be address for our community.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#24

My children attend the daycare Centre on the corner of south creek road and Middleton road and walking them across the roads in question is terrifying.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#25

The streets in Cromer particularly South Creek Rd amd Fisher Rd North are frantically busy, during after school hours until 6pmand mornings between 7am to 9.30am, pwoplw arw dodging cars all the time and trying to cross the roads in this area is a nightmare, big trucks and big boats on trailers park along this road so no one can see anyone attempting to cross this road, many accidents happen all the time. Now today 29/6/20 again a woman was hit and i am told she died. Traffic lights are needed.

(CROMER, 2020-06-29)

#27

My children cross this road to get to school ! So dangerous. Will it take another serious accident or a fatality ??

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#28

I'm signing as a very concerned local resident.

(Cromer Heights, 2020-06-29)

#31

Traffic frequently travels faster than the limit on South Creek Road and Fisher Road North

(CROMER, 2020-06-29)

#35

We have observed just how busy South Creek Rd gets , cars, large trucks backing with deliveries for the factories, kids on bikes and pedestrians. Please council investigate to install a crossing and not just an island in the middle of the road.

(Sydney, 2020-06-29)

#36

This road is ridiculously busy and I have had many near misses trying to cross this road to get to the pharmacy and I have seen elderly residents trying to do the same. There are two available parking spaces for a busy pharmacy and a newsagent. That is why you have to cross the road.
There is a pedestrian island further down the street which is ridiculous also as you walk straight across the road to where cars pull in to the service station!!!!!
Cars speed through this anyway it may as well not be there.....
Pharmacy
St Matthews farm
Skate park
Newsagent
Childcare centre
And today we have to wait till someone is seriously injured to try and be heard again ....
Please action this safety issue ASAP
We deserve better....

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#37

I’m signing this petition as my child enjoys the skate park and football fields. Greater safety is long overdue in this area.

(Narraweena, 2020-06-29)

#38

My daughter attends Plie and it scares me the amount of cars that fly down the road. Protect the children. If the police want to gain revenue place a car there. So many speeding idiots.

(Davidson, 2020-06-29)

#41

This road is dangerous. We need crossings. Let’s keep the community safe.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#42

We need a crossing there so many kids are running across the busy road, this is not safe
We also need a safety barrier on Toronto Avenue cross the bridge it is extremely dangerous , cars go flying down the hill there and I hate walking my kids up there.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#43

Listen to Cromer residents, we need crossings urgently!!

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#45

It’s too dangerous for a suburban community area.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#46

This rode is a hazard, once the wheeler heights shops are completed this road will become even busier.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#50

I live in the area and it's unsafe. Since the skate park went in its very busy spot

(Wheeler Heights, 2020-06-29)

#53

I live up the road and worry for others and my families safety

(Wheelers heights, 2020-06-29)

#54

I'm signing because I live and work in this area and I want my children to be safe. This is a serious hazard.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#56

The road is dangerous and people need to be able t cross safely, there are shops, daycare, skate parks and now more units. Too dangerous trying to dodge cars.

(Wheeler Heights, 2020-06-29)

#57

I’m signing because I am a local and I see kids daily running across the road and taking a risk. It’s not safe and needs to be improved.

(Wheeler Heights, 2020-06-29)

#58

Lives are at risk

(Sydney, 2020-06-29)

#60

I live in this area and my son goes to daycare right along this busy stretch of road. It’s so dangerous and something needs to be done.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#61

I have witnessed many near misses on this stretch of road. Increasingly dangerous with cars driving very fast around the blind corner.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#62

We are locals and frequently use the skate park,soccer fields. We attend the local dance school and primary school.

(Sydney, 2020-06-29)

#63

I live in Cromer, and so many times I see close hits, especially people trying to get across to road safely. Cars are flying down south creek road and fisher road. This was a tragedy that happened today .. and it shouldn’t have happened

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#64

I’m signing because in the last 12 months alone I have witnessed a car accident, pedestrian accident and last week a motorcyclist hit on south creek road alone. I’m not even a local resident of that area but frequent the area regularly with my children.

(Sydney, 2020-06-29)

#68

It’s the right thing to do

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#72

the road is dangerous and busy and hard to cross

(Sydney, 2020-06-29)

#78

To save lives and stop near misses that happen every day.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#84

It is a dangerous area that needs to be made safe before another accident happens .

(Wheeler Heights, 2020-06-29)

#87

We all need to be safe crossing the road

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#89

I have witnessed far too many near accidents and a few people get hit by cars in the area. With the kids daycare, skate park and soccer fields there too it is full of unpredictable kids. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.

(Collaroy, 2020-06-29)

#90

It’s is a dangerous Road with lots of kids hanging around At the skatepark and going to shops / servo and having to cross it Which gets very very busy,
I’m scared for our kids

(Collaroy Plateau, 2020-06-29)

#91

I’m signing because I agree totally.

(wheeler Heights, 2020-06-29)

#94

I live in Cromer and too many times my children have found it hard to cross the road near the skatepark/bus stops, frequently see near misses. Cars speed along this narrow stretch of road, there is v limited parking for local people at shops.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#96

Cromer is dangerous with little crossings, traffic islands aren’t safe enough

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#98

Another accident is another one too many!

(Sydney, 2020-06-29)

#99

This spot is so dangerous and definitely needs a crossing

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#101

There are no crossings

(Sydney, 2020-06-29)

#107

Ive been involved in accident at this intersection. At certain times during the year turning into South Creek Rd can be very difficult due to blinding sun, volume of traffic and pedestrians taking their chances. It’s sad it takes a serious accident for action. I hope the lady injured today is ok. My thoughts are with her and her family.

(Freshwater, 2020-06-29)

#109

To improve the pedestrian safety for the residents and visitors of Cromer

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#118

My daughter is at MindChamps and we have often been almost hit by cars that fly by (ignoring the 50km/h signs). One day someone is going to get killed on this section of road.

(Collaroy Plateau, 2020-06-29)

#122

I run the childcare centre on 178 south creek rd. The amount of near accidents, accidents and serious accidents that myself, staff, parents and children have witnessed or been a part of over the past 7 years is countless. With the new construction there is more shops and families moving to the area which will only create more foot traffic and fear of the future for our community. We have signed countless petitions and made our own with no response. When will we finally have safety in such a family oriented area!?!?

(Wheeler Heights, 2020-06-29)

#124

My children’s lives matter

(SYDNEY, 2020-06-29)

#126

I totally agree. There is nowhere for children cross safely.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#127

We witnessed the accident today, and regularly have to dash across this road to use the bike path or access the shops from the skatepark.

(CROMER, 2020-06-29)

#128

This is needed ASAP
So many children in this area and so hard to cross the road

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#134

we need a crossing on the bike track in Dee Why near the time and tide hotel, on Campbell Ave.

(Dee Why, 2020-06-29)

#136

I take my children to daycare at Whherl Heights and it’s an extremely difficult crossing especially at peak hour

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#142

I'm signing because this is a spot my children often use to access St Matts and Cromer Park. We desperately need this crossing to keep our children safe. It's an extremely busy road with very high pedestrian & pushbikes using the crossing. Please place this very very high on your priority list. Than you

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#144

As a local resident and president of the high school P&C I’m concerned for the safety of our children in particular. This road is always busy and needs crossings and traffic lights to control the flow, allowing for safe crossing.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#145

I'm signing this because my 12 year old daughter crosses South Creek Road, Cromer, twice a day on her way to and from the local high school (Cromer Campus), and will do for years to come, as will her younger brother when he begins high school in a few years. It is such a busy road particularly with an increase in apartments and businesses in the area. I would like to see improved safety for crossing South Creek Road.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#146

I’m signing because my son goes to the daycare center there and it is a constant anxiety point trying to get across the road safely with him.

(Collaroy, 2020-06-29)

#147

I drive in this area often and see how dangerous it is for pedestrians to cross and cars driving through.

(Collaroy, 2020-06-29)

#152

I’m an scared every time my kids have to cross this road

(Wheeler hts, 2020-06-29)

(Dee why, 2020-06-29)

#166

I live in the area there is so many kid’s around and not one set of crossings on that street it’s not safe and now there is a unit going in there even more people

(Sydney, 2020-06-29)

#168

I am a former northern beaches local and this area has been like this for many many years.

(Toowoomba, 2020-06-29)

#170

As a local resident with small children, I cross these roads frequently and am often concerned for our safety. There are many children older than mine that cross this road unaccompanied by an adult and it’s only a matter of time before a tragedy occurs. Please do something to prevent it.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#171

Crossing needed before many more accidents. You can prevent this 🙏

(Sydney, 2020-06-29)

#172

I grew up in Wabash Ave Cromer
I had to cross south creek road on the way to school, it was hard back in the 80’s and now the roads are so much busier I’m astounded the council has not put a pedestrian crossing yet. Please put it as a priority before there is a preventable death.

(Elanora Heights, 2020-06-29)

#174

I am a local who sees people struggle to cross the road every day. It is dangerous, the road is narrow and someone is going to be killed very soon. Please do something before it is too late

(Cromer, Sydney, 2020-06-29)

#175

Traffic in the area has increased ten fold we need safe crossings for our children and elderly. With the new shops opening as well increased traffic is only going to add to the situation

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#179

We are local and it is not safe for my kids to cross anywhere when walking.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#182

Each member of my family use this street and a driver and pedestrian.
Extra safety must be put in place.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#183

It’s so dangerous with all the cars parked along there . Also there are kids everywhere Recipe for disaster !!

Roundabout and crossings Roundabout and crossings!

Also re Surface Rose Avenue ✅

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#185

I work at the child care and it is very dangerous! many families feel unsafe during drop offs/pick ups

(Sydney, 2020-06-29)

#186

There is no where safe to cross the road in this area.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#188

This road is dangerous during peak times. Council need to start saving the life's of the local community. If a simple pedestrian crossing and roundabout can't be installed then they need to consider is they have the communities interest at heart.

(Dee Why, 2020-06-29)

#190

I am concerned for the safety of my grandchildren and the lack of consideratiom by those who "dump" their toys along Cromer's busy streets.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#192

Having a business that has over 100 children coming and going on South Creek Road I am forever concerned about their safety

(Collaroy plateau, 2020-06-29)

#193

It is a very dangerous stretch of road to cross. People have asked for a crossing there for ages and now a poor lady has been hit by a car. So very sad.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#194

Please improve the Cromer and Cromer Heights regions with pedestrian crossings. The safety of children, families and the general public when crossing roads needs to be immediately prioritised.

(North Curl Curl, 2020-06-29)

#195

I am signing this because I work at the childcare centre and my children attend it is so scary and hard to get to and from the car when coming or going from kindy. I do not feel any one is safe as the cars just speed right through. I have worked there for 6 years and have seen so many horrible accidents happen.

(Cromer, 2020-06-29)

#196

I don't feel safe crossing the road with my children.

(Dee Why, 2020-06-29)

#197

I’m signing as I’m a resident at Narraweena & my children are at OAC childcare Narraweena & my gym is Chocolate Box at Cromer so I’m frequently in the area & know it could be safer.

(Sydney, 2020-06-29)

#198

This road is far too busy without having a pedestrian crossing! Today was an awful event that will happen again if you do not listen to the local community and act.
