Options Analysis into Park and Ride at Grandview Rd
Thursday, 17 July 2008 10:00
Many local residents are aware of the unofficial Park and Ride on the dirt at the corner of Grandview Road and Moggill Road.I have been requesting for some years that this area near the Energex facility be turned into a properly constructed Park and Ride for local public transport users.
The Department of Main Roads has confirmed that they are preparing an options analysis for this intersection.
Little detail has been provided at this stage, but I am told that they are reviewing the possibility of a Park and Ride in that location. They will also examine a safety upgrade of the intersection.
Some years ago, I also approached the Government in relation to a Park and Ride along the new section of Moggill Road being developed at Kenmore. As previously announced, the Government are proposing to agree to my request that a Park and Ride be incorporated opposite Margaret Court, near the site of the former Kenmore Community Church.
Throughout the discussions in the local area in relation to roads and transport the importance of substantial improvement to public transport infrastructure should never be overlooked.
When some further detail of the options analysis being conducted for the intersection and possible Park and Ride becomes available I will let you know.
