Crossing Grant St on the Wallaby Track (Yarrowee trail) sucks!
This crossing is very dangerous and the council has known about it for years. They had plans drawn up 2 years to make it safer, but since then nothing has happened.
If you have ever tried to cross here on foot or on a bike you know just how bad it is. It's very hard to judge driver speed because of the proximity to the roundabout, and the refuge in the middle is a joke. Forget about trying to cross there with kids.
Since we're sick of this, we (Better Streets Ballarat) have decided to organise a community meeting for Saturday 15 August (that's tomorrow!) 10:30am at the crossing, to try and pressure all levels of government to commit to actually funding a fix.
This isn't a big demonstration or anything - if you think this crossing could be improved come along and show the council and state and federal governments that this is something you want. It even looks like the weather will be nice! :)
