Mosman Council is consulting residents about installing a raised pedestrian crossing on Military Rd. adjacent to the Gouldsbury St. intersection at Mosman Junction. (outside August The Old Place Cafe / Restaurant).
Residents have not requested one, or have pedestrian safety experts recommended one.
Its purpose is to provide traffic calming on Military Rd. necessary to gain NSW Govt approval for a 40km High Pedestrian Area zone between Spit Junction and Mosman Junction.
Councillor Simon Menzies supports gaining NSW Govt approval for a 40km zone but by calming traffic using a "speed cushion" (see photo below) or the like instead of a raised pedestrian crossing.
To gain approval for a 40km zone, Mosman Council should use a traffic calming device that doesn't require removal of parking spaces or make traffic congestion worse.
An example of what could be used instead of a crossing is shown here.
