Norman Mackenzie, 85, was crossing Jacka Boulevard at a pedestrian crossing that had signals when he was struck by a cyclist travelling in the road's bike lane on April 18.

The crossing is at a set of lights opposite the Peters Boulevard Ice Creamery Kiosk, between Luna Park and Fitzroy Street.

Mr Mackenzie, who lived in the area, died in hospital later that night.

Police have completed their report for the Coroner, but would not comment on the circumstances of the collision.

However, they have confirmed the cyclist, a 30-year-old Port Melbourne man who was taken to hospital after the crash with non-life threatening injuries, will not face charges.

A police spokesman told Fairfax Media: "This incident has been investigated and the cyclist will not be charged. No further action will be taken."

It could be the case that Mr Mackenzie began crossing the road on a green pedestrian signal, but did not reach the other side before the lights changed.

He had been walking his blue Staffordshire bull terrier puppy along Jacka Boulevard, as he did twice a day every day, his son Alistair said.

"It's just a tragic accident," Alistair said. "I imagine the cyclist is devastated. I do feel for him as well."

Last year, pedestrian safety group Victoria Walks unveiled a radical plan to make the roads safer, particularly for seniors.

Its strategy recommended stopping cars at pedestrian crossings for up to seven seconds longer than is currently the case and reducing the speed limit to 30km/h in some areas.

Under that plan, crossings would be redesigned to accommodate walking speeds of 0.9 metres a second, rather than 1.2 metres a second. It would mean pedestrian lights at a 10-metre crossing would be activated for three seconds longer, while lights at a 25-metre crossing would be activated for seven seconds longer.

VicRoads said it would review the "amount of green time" at the crossing on Jacka Boulevard.

"Where elderly pedestrians are known to use a particular crossing, the clearance time is increased and this is often near aged care and retirement accommodation," said Vince Punaro, VicRoads regional director of the Metro North West region.

"The percentage of older Victorians will increase over the coming years and of course we need to make sure we strike the right balance for all road users."

However, it is understood the road authority is not considering a blanket increase in pedestrian crossing times.

The walk (green man) and clearance (red flashing man) times are individually programmed for each traffic signal in Victoria and so can be changed case by case, but each site needs to have a new program created and installed, which is not a small exercise.

Pedestrian walk and clearance times are based on the Austroads National Standards, but signals are programmed with longer crossing times where distances are deemed excessive.

Mr Mackenzie was farewelled at a funeral earlier this month.

In the days following the fatality, Alistair Mackenzie called for compulsory registration of bicycles and licensing for cyclists.

Yet, he said his father's death was a reminder to all road users to respect each other.

"We just need to all get along and people just need to be aware of their surroundings," he said.

The Coroner will decide if an inquest into Norman Mackenzie's death is required.
