The proposed 127 place child care centre will have such a negative impact on road congestion at "the Comenarra Pkwy" and "fox valley Rd" intersection. During the rush hour, it would cause huge delays especially on getting into or out of Kiogle street and other roads south of intersection (with the only exit being this intersection) because of people trying to pick up or drop off their kids.
I have concerns over where the entrance and exit access point will be positioned. With the new housing development being built further down on ‘The Broadway’, coupled with the traffic coming and going at Fox Valley shops (of which there are multiple ‘near-misses’ each day as visitors exit out through Kiogle Street without looking at traffic turning right into Kiogle Street) and SAN workers who park around residential streets, visitors to SAN parkway who will not use their carpark due to high fees, congestion will be significantly increased creating risks for residents and pedestrians and the new daycare clients.
Fox Valley Road (Shops side), is not able to accommodate the increased traffic. The whole road layout needs to be revised to give safe and quick entrance/exit on Fox Valley Road/ the shops/ and the residential street traffic lights combined.
I’ve no objection to new businesses coming to the area but it needs to be done with correct infrastructure to support needs not just now, but in the future.
I support the new day care centre but you must get this basic stuff right or risk total congestion in what is essentially a high bushfire risk zone as well.
