Dear KPS Community,
We are starting a petition to ask Randwick Council Traffic Committee to change the street signs and street rules on Bowral Street to match our pick up and drop off street signs on Doncaster Avenue.
Most of you have witnessed or been a part of the traffic jam created on Doncaster Avenue after school. We would like to create a safer environment and a better flow of traffic for all community members by creating a continuous flow of traffic along Doncaster Avenue around the corner to the double school gates on Bowral Street, where students will be picked up. This should significantly reduce the traffic congestion on Doncaster Avenue.
Randwick Council Traffic Committee needs to hear from its ratepayers, you the residents of Kensington, to ensure the safety of our children.
Please sign this petition and share this important message with other parents from KPS.
Thank you
P&C Committee

The Randwick Council Traffic Committee continues to ignore our messages while the traffic chaos on Bowral Street puts our children at risk every single day. I am pushing hard behind the scenes to force a response because their silence is a direct insult to every family waiting in that dangerous pickup line.

The Randwick Council Traffic Committee can no longer pretend this chaos is acceptable now that our surge of support is impossible to ignore. We have the momentum to force these bureaucrats to finally prioritize student safety over their own inaction.

The traffic jams along Doncaster Rd and the associated stress prompted me to abandon the afternoon pick up by car. The proposed Bowral St solution is brilliant. A few small changes will make a huge difference for families.
I've seen a similar system work very well on Coogee Bay Road for Claremont College.
I agree the safety of our children is paramount. The sooner this happens the better.
I think the changes proposed by Kensington Public School waiting gate is long overdue. Bowral St gate is the logical solution to the safety of our children.
The congestion on Doncaster Avenue during drop off and pick up times is too dangerous to ignore any longer. The children of Kensington need this new pick up/ drop off zone ASAP.
Desperately needed! Please.
I am feel concerned over an issue of waiting gate safety for our chlidren.

The changes proposed for our school's pick up and drop zones are a great idea. One of the biggest causes of congestion and danger to our children is the number of parents being NON-COMPLIANT with pick-up/drop-off rules. This is despite repeated communication from the school. Examples are: parents parking in the drop off zone for up to 15 mins to walk their children into school and/or attend the morning assemblies; dropping off/picking up kids in the NO STOPPING zone; not moving right up to the furthest drop off/pick off point. The proposed system should overcome these non-compliance issues, as well as the other issues causing congestion: apartment construction and the chaos of light rail development on the horizon.
