His call comes after a woman was knocked down and injured on this stretch of road on Friday afternoon.
Councillor Tony Hassan said: “In the last few years the Racecourse Road has seen a steady increase in a heavy volume of traffic.
“There have been a number of very serious accidents at this point.
“In that time Sinn Féin has called on a number of occasions for the introduction of a pedestrian crossing.
“We will be seeking an urgent onsite meeting with Transport NI to lobby for a safe crossing on this road.”
