Reason for this Petition

The following residents of the ACT draw to the attention of the ACT Assembly:
Lawrence Wackett Crescent is the only road in and out of Theodore.
The uncontrolled western intersection of Lawrence Wackett Crescent and Tharwa Drive is extremely dangerous and the site of many and ongoing vehicle accidents.
The 4000 residents of Theodore should be able to safely enter and exit their own suburb without the ongoing high-risk threat of collision when entering 80km/h Tharwa Drive.
The safety risks to residents and visitors to Theodore have been ignored for many years.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call on the ACT Government to:
Implement improvements to significantly increase safety at the western intersection of Lawrence Wackett Crescent and Tharwa Drive.
