The median island would allow pedestrians to cross the road in two stages, increasing safety for frail aged, people with disability or mobility issues and parents with small children.
The median island would be in keeping with existing road infrastructure along The Parkway.
The median island would slow traffic movement along the road.
Moving the crossing further west along the road, closer to the entrance to Parkland Villas, may require the removal of one tree on the southern side of The Parkway.
There is a potential loss of up to seven car parking bays at the front of the Parkland Villas to make way for the new pedestrian island.
New lighting may need to be installed for the new median island.
