I live directly opposite the bowling club and Nolan's reserve. At present the residents on the left hand side towards manly of Pittwater road have issues with visitors particularly on game days, and golfers who wish to not deal with the getting out of car parks after games and park often over our driveways, as well as resident parking facilities already very limited at times.
Parents park outside our house and then run across three lanes of traffic with the children to get to the grounds. As well as having to cope with the multiple e bikes parking on the premise means we cannot get out when visitors park across our driveways which are historically already narrow and backing out onto Pittwater road requires care and timing with the traffic lights and now of course the multiple e bikes doing high speeds, with no warning and silent on approach.
A simple solution would be to erect a barrier down the median strip of Pittwater road as well as putting in resident parking permits limiting visitor parking to 1 hour parking, either way once a recreation centre is put in the parking load on this area will be unsustainable.
With a new recreation centre planned for the now defunct bowling club, without due consideration both kentwell road and entry to Pittwater road is going to be a traffic jam, this area is also prone to flooding which totally blocked access in 2022 so more care more be taken to forward plan these situations.
The current plans do not indicate any real thought to the parking problem.
This is already congested in peak hour and at weekends.
Please detail more in this area.
Thank you
