Petition details
The residents, resident's whanau & staff feel a pedestrian crossing is needed outside of Saint John of God on 11 Messines Road, Karori. MetLife Care, a geriatric residential, hospital & dementia care facility, located next to Saint John of God, would also benefit from a pedestrian crossing.
Background information
We use electric wheelchairs & assistive walking devices to cross the road that we use to go for walks or to get to the bus stop. Often vehicles are driving fast & there is a corner not far up the road giving the appearance that vehicles may appear suddenly. The sidewalks on Saint John of Gods side of the road are very slim & uneven so we prefer for ease of mobility to mobilise on the opposite side of the road.
