The raised crossing point is located at the most suitable location to provide the best sight lines for pedestrians wishing to cross. The location of the crossing point is not finalised as yet. It may move slightly further south, but it will not go beyond the underpass. In its current location it provides a suitable crossing point for those exiting platform two and heading south. It also aids those heading from the shops on Perry Vale to the underpass, and vice versa. I fully understand people's issues with regard to the lose of the island at Hindsley's Place, but there will not be sufficient carriageway width to provide a new island. I have looked at accident reports for Perry Vale and there have not been any pedestrian personal injury accidents on this section of highway in the past five years. I have looked into possibly providing an additional island between the car park entrance and the underpass. Again this can not been carried out due to the location of the bus stop, outside the Foresters public house.

Despite making the road straighter, I have also reduced its width considerably. A more narrow road tends to make drivers reduce their speed. We could consider putting in additional speed cushions, however I would prefer not to go down that avenue as the majority of people I have come across are anti-speed hump.
