The Minns Labor Government is pressing ahead with building a better Budgewoi transport network with a $6 million investment to improve Scenic Drive.
More than 16,000 motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and bus passengers who use the road daily will benefit from safety and access improvements to be delivered along the section of Scenic Drive between Wills Road and Ourringo Street.
Safety improvements at intersections along Scenic Drive will be a key focus of the upgrades which will help make it easier for people to access Halekulani Oval, the skate park and Budgewoi West Village.
Potential solutions include:
- enhanced accessibility of bus stop facilities
- additional pedestrian refuges along the corridor
- upgrades to existing active transport infrastructure around Budgewoi Bridge
- adjusting the Budgewoi West Village car park entry location at Noela Place intersection
- traffic slowing measures at the Alawai Avenue intersection and
- replacement of the existing pedestrian refuge adjacent Budgewoi West Village with a signalised pedestrian crossing.
To help Transport for NSW determine what improvements should be prioritised to best meet community needs, Budgewoi locals are being invited to share their improvement ideas by:
- completing a survey online at www.haveyoursay.nsw.gov.au/scenicdr
