As a family with young children living in Lindfield, we often find ourselves walking along the busy Winchester Ave connecting Lyle Avenue to Eton Road. The nature strips are inadequate, especially when trying to push prams and walk with our toddler to the local parks. In just a few short years, our children will need to navigate this street themselves to reach local schools and public transport.

This road is not just frequented by us but also by many other pedestrians including children attending the local school, children attending sports training and games at Charles Bean Oval and the many residents who enjoy exercise and walk their pets. Yet there is no safe pedestrian footpath established here. This poses significant safety risks for all pedestrians, especially during peak hours when traffic is heavy.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), pedestrian fatalities account for 14% of all road deaths in Australia (source: ABS). A dedicated footpath would significantly reduce this risk and ensure that everyone can travel safely within our community.

We urge the local council of Ku-ring-gai NSW, Australia to take immediate action on this matter. By establishing a safe pedestrian footpath along this busy road, we can protect all pedestrians - from young families like ours to school-age children who rely on this route for their daily commute.
