Focus on placement of extra pedestrian crossings

The possible placement of additional pedestrian crossings in Mosgiel is being considered.

Dunedin City Council senior traffic engineer Ron Minnema said the council had received three responses from letters sent to the community board, schools, a disability service and a ratepayer for feedback on potential sites for crossings in Factory Rd, in Mosgiel.

The letter included three potential crossing sites but asked for ''local knowledge'' if crossings were needed elsewhere, he said.

The council wanted to find five to seven possible crossing sites and would then consult residents on where to build the three crossing points, he said.

Zebra crossings were not being considered, because there were not enough pedestrians to make them a safe crossing option, he said.
