Proposal

  • Design and install a raised intersection at Jones St and Collins St, with zebra crossings across all four sides of the intersection

Rationale

Collins St and Jones St are commonly used by students walking and riding to Thornbury High School. In Your Street, Your Say - Group B Stage 1, we heard there is a need for safe designated crossings at this intersection.

A raised intersection with zebra crossings on all four sides will slow drivers down and improve safety for people crossing Jones St and Collins St.

More safety improvements nearby are proposed in Priority Project 3: Matisi St south of Collins St and Priority Project 8: Dundas St between Victoria St and Matisi St.
