Rooty Hill Commuter Car Park Asphalt & Resurface Upgrades 23rd January 2017

Whilst I had seen this sign at  just down the  sign of the  walk way ramp on North Rooty Hill, I then realised there is another improvement we could look at within the Rooty Hill commuting community for the future.

The sign indicates that there will be an asphalting and resurfacing of the Rooty Hill Commuter Car Park on the 23rd January 2017 between 8am and 6pm. The sign was also flapping loosely in the wind and was not secured on the walkway or properly positioned where commuters could  read it. That was one issue. In fact there weren't many signs around to notify many commuters.


Yet, the other improvement that could be made to alleviate traffic parking issues in Mount Druitt, slightly, as previously mentioned Click here for previous post
It is a simple one and I don't think many commuters have thought about it in Rooty Hill and that is to construct a multi-storey commuter car park to accommodate for commuters catching trains, possibly around the  capacity of 600 vehicles.

Let see if this sparks  a fe public transport stake holders, nodding heads,

Rooty Hill Comrmunity Member Provides Support And has Suggestions For Car Parking Improvements!

We are starting to get the community interested in this blogspot for the community to be informed and providing suggestions for improvements in and around Mount Druitt.

As an individual, I am strong enough to take criticism and give the compliments back to the community first and then to all the Blacktown City Councillors, Officers, NSW State Government Members of Parliament and finally other stake holders that that participated in making any  improvements within Mount Druitt and surrounding suburbs.

So, Emmanual from Rooty Hill has made the following comment to myself by e-mail, ' I like what you're doing for the community. Keep up the good work.'

And he has 'Car Parking' ideas that is his concern about the lack of 'Parking Spaces' in Mt. Druitt and Rooty Hill.

Below is my letter:

I see that a lot of people are having problems looking for a parking space in Mt. Druitt & Rooty Hill. It's about time you plan to allocate a budget for this purpose now and implement it next year.

Suggestions:

  

1) Convert Maj. Druitt Park and the other park at Coates & Dixon Streets. into a parking area.*

2) Add 2 more levels to the Parking lot by the Court House.**
 

3) Add 2 levels to the Parking lot in Rooty Hill.***

 

*Major Druitt Park - corner of Beames Avenue and  Coates 

 Street, Mount Druitt  - the park can be converted to a  

 Commuter Car Park - yet acquiring of nearby land would

 provide a more suitable site, pending community

 consultation.

**Mount Druitt Commuter Car Park, corner of Mount Street

   and North Parade Mount Druitt. This commuter Car park

   was cleverly constructed by the former NSW Labor

   Government, so the foundations would be able to accept

   another 2/3 storeys extension.

***Suitable sites would be Lot 1 & lot 2 (Google maps reference), corner of Station Streets and North Parade, Rooty Hill and also another option is corner of Depot and Mavis Streets, Rooty Hill.

What are your thoughts? We ask NSW State Member for Mount Druitt, Hon. Richard Amery to investigate this improvement as well as feedback from Councillors of Ward 4, Blacktown City Council and Transport Council Officers? Should the matter be extended to next year, we ask the new NSW State Member for Mount Druitt, to continue investigating this required community improvement?

Rooty Hill Commuter Car Park Could Expand!

Rooty Hill train station has community members traveling stretching as far as Plumpton and Glendenning and Minchinbury driving there cars to commute to trains. It is a growing area and we look at the layout of Rooty Hill, we can see that it is a congested area and the current commuter car park, may now need upgrading to cater for the future growth in population  within the area.

If Blacktown City Council's plan 20-30 years ago for community planning and future expansion was implemented, it appears Rooty Hill North has remained the same for  many many years. What was the plans. You can see that  whilst there are many train commuters at Rooty Hill, lifts are still required and Blacktown City Council should be placing this as a high issue on there Transport/Traffic Agenda as well as planning  2-3 stories of Commuter car park on the current commuter car park.
