ELIZABETH STREET SAFETY CONCERNS
■ Local resident Connie Boglis told the latest meeting of Darebin Council about the safety of children crossing Elizabeth St and the need to improve the speed limit. Vanessa Petrie, Darebin Council General Manager City Sustainability and Strategy, said: “The section of Elizabeth St between Bell St and Murray Rd is managed by Department of Transport and Planning. “We have previously approached the Department to request funding to install a pedestrian operated signal near Raymond St. “Instead of funding, the Department has confirmed this project will be considered for development funding in a future year. “Recently, the speed limit was changed on Merri Parade and Westgarth St, Department of Transport and Planning managed roads, from 60-kmh to 50-kmh to improve safety. “Officers will continue to request speed limit changes on other roads, including Elizabeth St, in line with our Transport Strategy,” Ms Petrie said.
