I support the idea of a pedestrian crossing on Fraser St, Greerton Tauranga, near Pemberton Park and Yatton Park. If a pedestrian crossing is accepted it will be an advantage to...
• The children from the childcare centres to be able to cross the road safely to play at the park or go to the library.
• The elderly to cross the road safely either walking or on mobility scooters so they can go into Greerton Village.
• A walking school bus will be able to be set up along Fraser St as it will be safe to cross the road.
• During peak time traffic it will make it easier and safer for pedestrians to cross.
• It will make it safer for those playing sports at Pemberton Park to cross, when parked on the opposite side of the road.

I strongly support this. I have a sister with a 16 month old son who come into Greerton more than 7 times a week. She tries to cross at the 'crossing' opposite Yatton Park but cant with her son as of the traffic. GET THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING THERE PLEASE. Not only for the safety of my sister and her son but also for the Greerton Village School kids that cross Frase Street.

We need to address the needs of all road users and that includes pedestrians not just car and truck drivers. Well done to the team who started this petition. Next we need a crossings in front of all our schools in the region.

This pedestrian crossing is greatly needed. Fraser Street has become a very busy main arterial route. The nearest crossing is a Merivale; totally out of the way for anyone going to the Greerton Village or to the Parks.
Congratulations to the team proposing it. Good luck with your studies.

yes would love to have a pedestrian crossing there. I live close by and take my life in my hands sometimes when crossing.
