I wish to notify of my concerns regarding traffic for the proposed Service Station & Fast Food Outlet. I note that the traffic impact study has used the study applicable to a residential allotment development at 2 Karanya Street. I believe that there are some outstanding issues that may also affect traffic flow for this application.
I am also alerting that we currently experience viewing obstruction when trying to exit Buchanan Street. The obstruction occurs infrequently and is caused by a business being conducted at 448 Bayswater Road. The business does not have any signage and appears to be aligned to the building industry. Building workers large four wheel drive vehicles regularly park in the front of the premises and illegally too close to the corner of Buchanan Street causing viewing obstruction to the east and requiring vehicle exiting Buchanan Street to nose out almost into the traffic lanes on Bayswater Rd. Other vehicles park around the corner on the eastern side of Buchanan Street forcing vehicles entering Buchanan Street onto the incorrect side of the road.
With the proposed application it is anticipated that there will be additional traffic wanting to access the proposed development. I asked that these areas around the premises at 448 Bayswater Rd be considered as a no parking zones to ensure the safety of motorist thus providing a clear and unobstructed view of oncoming traffic.
Thank You.
