Street safety for newtown public school

Safety of our students is the number one priority of community members of Newtown Public School. 

 Accordingly, in light of a near fatal accident involving a child, we call on the City of Sydney Council to urgently improve the pedestrian safety of Whitehorse Street, off King Street, including undergrounding power lines to increase space for students to walk safely and removing hazardous blind spots.

 Additionally, we call on the City of Sydney to urgently fund and progress a joint project with School Infrastructure NSW to widen the footpath on Whitehorse Street, between Newman Lane and Norfolk Street, and where possible include a kiss and ride spot to enable safer drop offs and picks ups for parents of students.
