The DCC will soon be undertaking road safety improvements around Balmacewen Intermediate School as part of the Safer School Streets project.
Safer School Streets was developed in 2018 to enhance road safety around schools, focusing on promoting safe walking, cycling, and scooting, while simultaneously improving the overall road environment for future school travel planning.
This new infrastructure will support the permanent 30km/hr speed limit for school zones as outlined in the Interim Speed Management Plan 2023/24, which was consulted on in November 2022 and implemented in mid-late 2023. The design for these safety enhancements has been developed based on feedback received from the consultation that took place in 2021.
The maps below show the extent of the proposed works, which include:
- Chapman St/Craighall Crescent – Kerb buildouts with new crossing points, raised courtesy crossing and road markings.
- Cohen Place/Chapman St – Kerb buildouts with new crossing points, road markings.
The planned timeline for this work is for completion before end of June 2025.
