Traffic - a practical problem

Principle and Practical, Problems Abound.


Previously we have mentioned our objection to the principle of taking over public places for private profit.
If the whole of the Rosny Hill Nature Recreation Area is leased by Clarence Council for, say, 99 years and those who lease it do not please ratepayers in their use of this land, do ratepayers have any way of disagreeing? Can rate payers vote out the lessee? Obviously not.
Negotiating the lease terms and conditions was mentioned in Clarence City Council's September quarterly report, without details.

Traffic, a Practical Concern.


Rosny and Montagu Bay are quiet suburbs but with several community facilities: Clarence Pool, Clarence Sports Stadium, Montagu Bay Primary School, Rosny Childcare, Rosny College, Rosny RSL, Rosny Tennis Club. These generate their own share of traffic. Riawena Road and Bastick Street, in particular, are affected. The T junction of these two streets can be quite tricky to negotiate. At the moment, there would generally be fewer than ten vehicles on the Rosny lookout in any given half hour. How that situation would change if a 'resort' was built on the hill.


Many inexperienced drivers from Rosny College need to negotiate the Bastick St T junction

Here is the result at a peak time:

Patience is obviously a virtue

And so the members of the Rosny Hill Friends Network continue to wait patiently.....
