COUNCIL STATEMENT ON PEDESTRIAN FATALITY - GRANT & DOWNEY STREETS, ALEXANDRA
"Murrindindi Shire Council extends its heartfelt sympathies to the family, friends and loved ones of a long-standing Alexandra resident who tragically lost her life yesterday.
"This is a deeply felt loss for the Alexandra community, and our thoughts are with her family and with everyone who is grieving at this time.
"We recognise that this tragedy has caused significant shock, sadness and distress across the community.
"The intersection of Grant and Downey Streets is part of a state-controlled road network. Safety concerns at this location have been raised by both the community and Council over a number of years, and Council has consistently advocated to the State Government for improvements.
"At this time, our focus is on supporting the community and allowing space for grief, while recognising the importance of continued action to improve safety.
"Council will continue to press for improvements at this intersection and across the Alexandra town centre more broadly. This includes advocating for measures to improve pedestrian safety and exploring opportunities to reduce traffic volumes and heavy vehicle movements through the centre of town.
"We ask that the community keeps the family at the centre of our thoughts and continues to treat one another with care and compassion in the days ahead."
