      Attention: Noosa Shire Council,
      Those of us who call Crank Street home have become increasingly concerned by the speed
      of the cars that travel our street, and by the often dangerous driving that many of us
      observe all too often.

      Please refer to the attached collection of petitions, as evidence did the shared concern for
      the safety of residents and motorists alike. As a collective, we are worried that in the
      absence of traffic calming measure, we may find ourselves in a ‘too little too late’
      scenario, which would be genuinely horrific. Numerous young families and children use
      our street to get to school and day care - as you would be aware, there is no footpath down
      the length of the street, nor are there pedestrian crossings or safety islands at the top of
      Crank St (Werin St intersection) or connecting the green spaces in the low-lying part of
      Crank St close to the school.

      There is consensus among us that chicanes would be preferable to speed bumps, as the
      noise pollution that the latter generate is significant (and avoidable if chicanes can be
      utilised). There is some anxiety that the council will ignore our concerns - please, find a
      way to advise us of how you plan to address these long-standing and growing concerns.
      Please get in contact with me should you wish to speak further about the concerns I have
      outlined.

      Thank you in advance for your timely response, and for participating in this democratic
      process.
      Sincerely,

                                                                                     Page 17 of 19
