So What Happens Next After Improvement On Pedestrian Access Way Mount Druitt - More To Be Completed....

So the win for the pedestrian accesway, outside Rashray's on Luxford Road North Mount Druitt, doesn't just finish there. Click here for previous post 

There are a few more traffic lights we need to let the stake holders know about, is vital to pedestrian safety and it is important to provide propper acessway to all pedestrians. No one should be denied propper infrastructure, to make life more difficult and complicated.

So the areas we are discussing are as follows:

     Corner of Carlisle Avenue and Fuller Streets, Mount Druitt
You will notice on the below picture that the missing access way, is on the northern part of Carlisle Avenue. This area will be quickly developing into a medium to high rise area as north of this area in around the Durham Street, new buildings are under construction, while houses make way, for an increased population.



Here are the new buildings being constructed at Durham Street Mount Druitt (left picture). Just around the corner  heree are the traffic lights at the corner of Carlisle Avenue and Fuller Street, Mount Druitt.


Corner of Carlisle Avenue and Kurrajong Roads, Mount Druitt


This area is also becoming like the area around Mount Druitt village, where properties are being bought out by developers and medium density housing is making its mark.

Popondetta Road and Luxford Roads, Emerton/Whalan



Corner of Luxford Road and Aurora Drive, Tregear/Whalan


Here, you can clearly see that there there  pedestrian accessways required in the two above intersections of Luxford Road and Aurora Drive also Luxford Road and Popondetta Road. You can see how vital it is to make pedestrian life easier by walking across the correct way, on the correct side of the road.

Corner of Mount Street and North Parade, Mount Druitt


At the same time, there would need to be instant connected footpaths, from the Mount Druitt car park, to reach and extend to the traffic lights. You can see where the commuter car park finishes, on the eastern end of North Parade.

All these lights are important for eaxch pedestrian's safety and we seek the support of  Blacktown City Council with the NSW Government to fund and place these important safety issues for our community, on a priority list.

We also ask our community, to let us know if there are other traffic lights within and around Mount Druitt, that are not fully completed with all access ways on all crossing streets. It is important that we list all of them, so action can be taken. The  new access way in Luxfoird Road Mount Druitt, beside Rashay's took  over 4 years to advocate for. People got interested, stake holders cared and I have had great decussion with transport officers from Blacktown City Council.
