The LNP have this week promised to commit to a $950,000 pedestrian crossing on Factory Street, to boost road safety in Pomona if elected next month.
LNP Candidate for Noosa, Clare Stewart, said with local schools and train station nearby, project would provide a safe pedestrian crossing at Factory Street to address concerns of local families.
“Following the completion of early-stage planning by Noosa Council during my term as Mayor, this project will make roads safer for local residents and children,” Ms Stewart said.
“As a mum of school aged children, I completely understand the concerns many parents have raised with me over many years.
“With a school, shops and a station all using Factory Street, the current buck-passing between the Labor Government, the Member for Noosa Sandy Bolton, and the local Council is simply not good enough.
“Children, commuters and shoppers all are forced to run the gauntlet of cars, and trucks just to cross the road.
“With increased traffic due to population growth and heavy haulage transiting through the town, local residents have been calling for the project for many years.
