A local resident has voiced the following concerns:“With the Lane Cove re-zoning of the Southern side of Mowbray road, the said 5/6 new developments will bring in another “huge” amount of traffic into the back streets of Chatswood West and residence in the area especially in Coolaroo Road and Dalrymple Avenue will suffer more than what it already is today.From a survey and submission to the Willoughby council more than a year ago of the flow of traffic this work was all in vain and rejected by James Brocklebank, Group Leader Traffic & Transport Willoughby Council.
In the last 2 months, I counted at least 1 car a second during the rush hour and school periods as this “rat run” from Mowbray Road to Chatswood is getting more popular and the newly installed Traffic lights at Beaconsfield & Mowbray Road does not really serve the residence of Coolaroo Road and Dalrymple Avenue as it only permits traffic to turn left into Mowbray road and not right.
A resolution needs to be done to make it more difficult for free flow traffic through the area as today and the future volumes will increase and also some “hoons” are also utilising it as a “race track” late night/early morning too.”
