PFD Monitor interpretation

Remove the speed bumps closest to the incident location and replace them with a flat-topped speed bump adjoining the pedestrian platforms, with a zebra-crossing marking.

Verbatim wording from the response

“• The Council will remove the speed bumps closest to where we understand the incident to have occurred. Subject to design advice, the current speed bumps will be replaced with a larger speed bump, with a flat top, which will adjoin the pedestrian platforms at either side. The top of the new speed bump will be painted to delineate a zebra crossing, and to provide a flat walking platform of consistent height all the way across between the two platforms. The Council will look to expedite the works and we expect to have them completed by the end of this year.”
