Suggested locations for zebra crossings and thresholds

In July 2020, Moreland Council asked Walk on Moreland for ideas of locations for a zebra crossing or threshold treatment at zebra crossings or T-intersections. The sites were for Council roads only. We asked community members and this is the link we compiled. We will publish the Council’s response to this list when permitted to do so.
