Mitcham's Corner Development Framework SPD

Representation ID: 31395

Received: 16/10/2016

Respondent: Ms Cathy Parker

Representation Summary:

I support removing the gyratory If it is replaced with something safer, and more pleasant, for cyclists and pedestrians. Most essential is the provision of segregated cycles lanes for safety, both for the benefit of existing road users (motorists and pedestrians as well as cyclists), and to encourage more people to cycle rather than drive. Cyclists should not have to mix with motor vehicles. Motor vehicles should not be allowed to park in cycle lanes. Pedestrians should not have to share with cyclists. I also support more greenery where possible, more cycle parking, and the removal of on-street vehicle parking.
