Recent signers:
Augustino and 19 others have signed recently.
The issue
📍 THE ISSUE
- Bus Route 459 currently terminates at Arnold’s Creek Primary School
- Harkness Road is now a major through road with continued development
- Over 300 homes are located in the surrounding area
- Nearest stop (Ravida Ave / Claret Ash Blvd) is up to 800 metres away
- Commutes can reach 1.2 kilometres
⚠️ WHY THIS MATTERS
- Long walking distances for children
- Safety concerns, especially in winter mornings
- Reduced accessibility for families relying on public transport
“This is a lot of walking for our children… and raises serious safety concerns.”
✅ PROPOSED SOLUTION
Add ONE additional stop:
📌 Harkness Road / Claret Ash Blvd
This will:
- Reduce walking distance to approximately 500 metres
- Improve safety and accessibility
- Support a growing residential community
We are requesting the Department of Transport & Planning to extend Bus Route 459 by one stop.
Your support can make a difference. Please sign the Petition with your name, phone number and email address.
