Kedron residents oppose school crossing plan they weren't consulted on
A planned street crossing near two Brisbane schools would remove about 12 parking spaces after a less costly alternative was rejected.
A planned street crossing near two private Brisbane schools has reignited community anger over a lack of consultation. Residents in Kedron learned a second traffic project was advancing weeks after they thought it was shelved.
The Wayland Street crossing would remove about 12 on-street parking spaces. An alternative crossing site further up the road was assessed but rejected due to cost: up to $3.5 million versus $1.5 million for the current plan.
Residents say the cheaper option should have been presented to them. The project is funded by a state grant.
