Project Description

The Coolibar Avenue pedestrian crossing is an existing passive crossing on the Frankston line. Approximately 233 trains per day traverse this pedestrian crossing with a line speed of 95 km/h. The pedestrian crossing was rated as one of the highest risk pedestrian crossing in Victoria.
