CITY PLAN
Now, we’ve also put together a map which we’ve sent out to all the residents in the
area. And on the map we’ve marked the proposed changes. Firstly, we’ll plant mature
pine trees to provide shelter and shade just to the right of the supermarket in Days
Road. In order to address the traffic problems, the pavements on the corner of
Carberry and Thomas Street will be widened. This will help to reduce the speed of
vehicles entering Thomas Street. We think it’s very important to separate the local
residential streets from the main road. So the roadway at the entry to Thomas Street
from Days Road will be painted red. This should mark it more clearly and act as a
signal for traffic to slow down. One way of making sure that the pedestrians are safe
is to increase signage at the intersections. A “keep clear” sign will be erected at the
junction of Evelyn Street and Hill Street, to control the flow of traffic in the area is to
install traffic lights half way down Hill Street where it crosses Days Road. Now, we
haven’t only thought about the cars and traffic, of course, there‘s also something for
the children. We’re going to get school children in the area to research a local story,
the life of a local sport hero perhaps, and an artist will incorporate that story into
paintings on the wall of a building on the other side of Hill Street from the
supermarket. And finally, we’ve agreed to build a new children’s playground will be at
the other end of Hill Street close to the intersection with Carberry Street.
