The Northland Cllr said: "The SDLP has been extremely proactive in working with Roads Service on this issue.
"Pedestrians have experienced difficulties for many years when trying to cross the road and there have been quite a number of near misses.
"Of particular concern are the peak times when children are going to and from local schools in the area.
"I am hopeful that these crossings will get the go-ahead and that the net effect will be to protect the lives of pedestrians and also go some way towards alleviating the difficulties that local motorists encounter when trying to access the Northland Road from Foyle Springs, Springvale and Springtown Industrial Estate."
