A suburban intersection where a pedestrian was killed when two cars crashed in August last year will be considered for safety upgrades following a petition by Annerley residents to Brisbane City Council.
The death of the 68-year-old man at the intersection of Venner Road and Frederick Street was described by Infrastructure committee chairman Amanda Cooper as “unusual”, who says their response to petitioners will depend on the outcome of a Queensland police investigation into the crash.
More than 200 people signed the petition, seeking a reduction of the speed limit from 60km per hour to 40km per hour.
