The following residents of the ACT draw the attention of the Assembly , That every morning and every afternoon traffic is banked back along Dalrymple Street all the way from the intersection of Hindmarsh Drive to towards La Perouse Street. That local schools in the area both public and independent have increased in number and without dedicated school buses this has increased traffic along this street. That development and infill around the Red Hill shops has increased the daily traffic along this exit. That when future stages of the development behind Red Hill Shops settle this issue will only become worse.
That the street is busiest at the exact time that school children and walking to and from school each morning and afternoon. That the delays along Dalrymple Street push cars onto other local residential streets. That Dalrymple Street south of Goyder Street is wide and is lined by unleased land on either side. That duplicating this short stretch of road, in just the southbound direction would be the most cost effective way to alleviate traffic congestion in this area.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call on the ACT Government to investigate the duplication of Dalrymple Street between Goyder Street and Hindmarsh Drive in the southbound direction, allowing a greater number of cars to pass through the intersection at each light change.
