Three Bold Street pedestrian crossing location options are in the mix after the crossing went to council's July meeting.

Noel Hiffernan addressed the meeting and said it was important to get the Laurieton pedestrian crossing location correct.

"One of the things I don't want to see is another piece of infrastructure not readily used by all members of the community," he said.

Mr Hiffernan said council's idea of consultation won't be of benefit for the wider community in enabling them to voice their ideas on the matter.

He said council pop up stalls and online feedback through its website won't generate robust discussion with residents on what they want to see.

"There are many elderly members of our community who aren't going to know how to submit online feedback through the council's website," he said.

"You can't put your thoughts down succinctly online or on a piece of paper."

A community petition was launched after the council, in late 2018, announced the pedestrian crossing would be located near the entry to the Coles car park, adjacent to 73 Bold Street.

Mr Hiffernan said more than 600 community members supported a pedestrian crossing location from Coles to the pharmacy, which was on the northern side of the Coles exit.

The council decided at its May meeting to put the pedestrian crossing construction on hold to review the crossing location.

There have since been further investigations.

The council at its July meeting agreed to conduct additional community engagement about the pedestrian location's preferred location.

The engagement process will include a mid-block option and two alternate crossing locations.

Option one is a centrally located mid-block crossing, option two is a mid-car park location and a northern crossing location (Coles to the chemist) forms option three.

Council staff recommend a mid-block alignment.

Councillors Peter Alley and Lisa Intemann have observed Bold Street pedestrian behaviour for research purposes.

Cr Intemann said a very small number of people crossed from Coles to the chemist for the purpose of going to the chemist.

They crossed for the purpose of going to their cars, she said.

Cr Alley said the pedestrian crossing would be valued by the community.

He said community consultation was very important and it was also important that the community understood the impacts on car parking.

The council will request an extension to a state government grant funding agreement for the pedestrian crossing to cater for the additional community engagement.

A further report is due back to the September council meeting.
