Get across with Tania AFTER watching some close calls on the Maple Street pedestrian crossing in Cooroy, Tania Stewart has decided the time has come to do something about it. Tania works at Cooroy Guardian Pharmacy (8 car parks away from the crossing), and says she sees so many cars that don’t slow down or stop for people to cross safely. “It seems Maple Street traffic is getting heavier and busier all the time. Every day now I cross my fingers when I see someone about to step onto the crossing in the hope that they get to the other side safely, said Tania. “It’s an accident waiting to happen. I feel it’s only a matter of time before someone gets hit,” she says. To try and prevent this from happening Tania is petitioning council for a new raised pedestrian crossing. “I hope that we never lose a life there,” said Tania and I feel a raised crossing would go a long way towards making this street a safer place to cross.” It would seem that a lot of locals feel the same as Tania already has over 500 signatures. If you would like to add your name to the list, call into Cooroy Guardian Pharmacy to sign the petition.
