Although group members Debbie ( Hon. Secretary and represents Shalvey) Janet (representing Bidwill) and myself attended Blacktown City Council meeting last night to support Bidwill and other suburbs for buses. Tonight I was the only community member that spoke on behalf of our group and also the entire Blacktown Community.
On the Trafiic Agenda Busways representative has recommended a new bus stop on the corner of Sedgman Crecent and Luxford Road and the other issue was Gasmata Traffic conditions:
After inspection council approval of a median island in Gasmata Crescent at its approach to Luxford Road has previously been approved by Council and is funded in the current Works Improvement programme. The median will improve traffic conditions by channelising the vehicles on a right angle to Luxford Road. Additionally it also will prevent vehicles cutting corners when turning from Luxford Road. Recommendations of Gasmata Crescent and Luxford Road intersection meets safe distance requirements and the traffic conditions will be reassessed once the median island is constructed.Council claims that RTA would provide a low priority for the intersection : 2 recorded accidents 23/3/07 and 9/8/2008 only injury occured.
We have received an e-mail from Jacqueline Donaldson confirming her sole support for our group:
Hi John I have put in Councillor requests on all the matters raised at the meeting last Saturday and moved the motion that urgent deputation be made to the Bus companies and the Minister regarding reinstatement of the Bidwill bus and at least over Easter period.
We thank you for your continual support.
