Safe passage for students
Sep 8, 2009
New traffic lights at The Valley Avenue in Gungahlin will give students and parents safer and easier access to the Burgmann Anglican School.Chief Minister Jon Stanhope said the ACT Government would invest $155,000 in the traffic lights, which would be operational by mid-September. “In response to feedback from Gungahlin residents and the school communities, new traffic lights are being installed on The Valley Avenue near Burgmann school,” Mr Stanhope said. “This is an important investment in the safety of Burgmann students and in improved traffic management in the growing Gungahlin region.”
The Valley Avenue is a popular drop-off and pick-up point for Burgmann students and locals accessing the scout hall. “The new lights will create a safe crossing point for students and remind drivers to slow down when driving through the school zone,” Mr Stanhope said.
The Valley Avenue is a major collector road providing direct access to the Gungahlin Town Centre. About 4,000 vehicles already use this road every day and this number is expected to rise with the development and growth of north Canberra.
Earlier this year, the government completed an alternate access road from Delma View to the school’s main car park, supplementing the existing access points from The Valley Avenue. The new access route is helping to reduce congestion on The Valley Avenue, as well as providing safe entry for students, parents and buses.
