Parking changes Submission

Submission

Which parking changes proposal would like to comment on
Ravenswood Rd

Do you support or oppose the proposed changes?
I/We oppose the proposed changes

What is your feedback on the proposed changes
I believe these changes are totally irrelevant in solving the 'safety issues' and only cause the local residents more issues in the parking situation on our street. The problem is not the parking, nor the width of the road but the actions of the drivers who use this road. Constantly speeding, driving dangerously and ignoring road safety etiquette. I propose that speed bumps or a safety camera are installed on this section of road instead of putting a bandage over the problem with your proposed changes. Parking for residents is already limited on the street and 90% of those who live on this street are not functioning at high mobility. Therefore, telling us that we cannot park outside our properties and that we will now have to battle for a park on our street and have the additional risk of walking up/down a steep hill is really quite ignorant. Think about those who live here and our safety and comfort, not the few who ignore basic road safety measures. If changes are brought in our Ravenswood Rd then I truly believe that you should also be addressing the issues on Allandale road and the first section of Ravenswood Rd prior to Earls road. This is a real safety concern with thin, winding roads and cars parking on both sides of the road illegally making it dangerous to drive along.
