| Please share any comments you have about why you chose to support/oppose the different options. |
My preference is the full upgrade. There are many schools in the area plus university 2km away. Many people walk and travel by bike. It is currently difficult and dangerous to get around and I have witnessed many near misses. I travel this street every day.
|
| How important or unimportant was retaining parking spaces on Peachgrove Road when deciding your support/opposition to each of the options? |
Extremely unimportant
|
| Please share any comments you have about potential reductions to the number of parking spots on Peachgrove Road. |
Storage of private cars on public roads should not be our main priority. We need to focus on safe and efficient movement of people, especially children travelling by foot and by bike.
