Deborah: “I am too old to drive a car, so I like to walk. I am worried to cross the road because
sometimes parents and P-platers driving cars don’t see me and don’t stop. I am worried for my
safety.”

Barry: “I deliver fresh produce to the pantry at St Rita’s on a Monday morning. The traffic during
morning drop-off is slow and congested due to the influx of people. Sometimes, I don’t think I will
make deliveries on time.”

fumes smell terrible!”
