Labor has promised to upgrade footpaths and roads in Pialligo if re-elected in October.

The $5 million pledge would deliver footpaths along Beltana Road and formalised parking.

It would create a new left-in left-out intersection with Pialligo Avenue, at the corner of Beltana and Kallaroo roads.

Labor has also has promised an investigation into traffic-calming measures on Beltana Road.

Residents have raised concerns about pedestrian safety and the need for road upgrades for a number of years.

Chief Minister Andrew Barr said investment would support an area of the ACT that is becoming increasingly popular with visitors.

"We all know that Pialligo is popular destination for locals and residents in the Canberra region, but it's also somewhere Canberrans bring friends and family from around the country", he said.

The plan would also upgrade the landscaping to align with the rural nature of the area.
