Install a pedestrian crossing on Chelmsford Avenue close to Franklin College.
Franklin College currently has circa 1,600 students which visit the College on a daily basis, there is currently no dedicated safe crossing in place for students or residents. Buses and vehicles drop students off on the roadside opposite the College causing students to cross a busy road.
Chelmsford Avenue is a busy 30mph road with a high density of vehicle usage. The College and local residents would like to propose the installation of a fully lit pedestrian crossing. A pedestrian crossing would greatly increase student safety while attending & returning home from college. Students and local residents are taking unnecessary risks crossing the road to and from bus stops. The College believes that a pedestrian crossing will also have the added benefit of slowing the traffic down.
