Felons Brewing Co. under the Story Bridge in the new Howard Smith Wharves entertainment precinct is one of several new craft breweries opening in Brisbane.
Petitioners requested the council reinstate a footpath on the northern side of Boundary Street and reinstall kerb ramps on Boundary Street that had been removed in 2017.
The vehicle intersection leads to Story Bridge,Fortitude Valley and back into the city,while also allowing both vehicle and pedestrian access down to the new Howard Smith Wharves precinct.
The petition of 33 signatures — one from the Northern Territory — was one of three the council has received since 2017 asking for the footpath along Boundary Street be kept in place.
The intersection had been upgraded to improve safety in June 2017,at which point the footpath was removed and a crossing point further down Boundary Street,toward the wharves,was laid out.
The footpath's move was designed to make sure drivers had a better line of sight on pedestrians trying to cross the road.

Infrastructure committee chairman Amanda Cooper said the planning study would lead to a review to see if improvements to the the area were needed.
