Blacktown City Council, is always taking interest in Public transport and future plans by inviting community members to a Forum.
I personally have been lucky to be invited, as they know my stance as an true advocate for public transport within the Blacktown Local Government Area. It detests me when I hear something like, ' Council doesn't do anything or care about us - and it is in relation to roads and public transport'.
Yet, when I tell them that they do care and are interested the subject changes. I have been invited to six transport forums from Blacktown City Council since 2010 and my seventh one is coming up out of forty-one of them. It doesn't make me an old hand but it makes me a really interested hand.
The basic topics coming up are: Sydney Metro Northwest Project Update 2016, Railway Stations Upgrade Programs and Bus growth programs.
What is missing is traffic improvements: traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, Bus Shelters, Taxi Stands - growth and the Council Bike Plan and any upgrade. I understand there is a new Manager of Transport at Blacktown City Council and when I have a chance, I will discuss will him.
So, if you have any ideas please present to myself and I will raise them, on your behalf
