Queen Street - Berry - Pedestrian Improvement Program

This project has been proposed to address 5 crashes along Queen Street that occurred between 2012 and 2017. Further investigations identified the area as a High Pedestrian Area, warranting a speed reduction, LATM devices and formal pedestrian crossings.

Various options have been presented over the years to determine a configuration that is acceptable to both the community and funding body.
