New traffic light locations and parking are among some of the options discussed in the feedback report that has been released following community consultation to address pedestrian safety on the Princes Highway at Mogo.
A Transport for NSW spokesperson said a total of 101 submissions and 156 comments were received during the two month consultation period from 29 November 2021 to 31 January 2022.
“All of the feedback received is now available in the Mogo Pedestrian Safety Feedback Report, which will help inform the next stage of pedestrian safety considerations,” the spokesperson said.
“The feedback showed general support for traffic light installation at the Annett Street intersection, while concerns were raised about traffic lights being installed at the Tomakin Road intersection. The concerns related to the proximity of the intersection to the bridge over Mogo Creek and Mogo Public School.”
The Transport for NSW spokesperson said it was clear both on and off-street parking is valuable to the Mogo community and should be considered when further developing options.
“Another takeaway message was that the community felt the proposed new locations of northbound and southbound bus stops were unnecessary and may cause additional congestion in the village,” the spokesperson said.
“There was also support for additional vegetation such as trees and planter boxes to enhance the village aesthetic and provide well needed shade in the village centre.
“We would like to thank all community members and stakeholders who provided feedback about potential options to improve pedestrian safety on the Princes Highway in Mogo.”
Transport for NSW will identify ways to improve pedestrian safety at Mogo based on the community feedback and further analysis and continue to engage with community and key stakeholders as the project progresses.
