What is your feedback on the proposed changes
Please understand that the width of the carparks along the waterfront are TOO NARROW. The amount of space given by the road designers here is pathetic. See attached photo. If you are fat, old, have trouble getting in and out of a car, you CANNOT get in OR out of our car!!!!! Sorry but whoever designed this parking is not thinking. We have seen on a number of occasions people returning to get in their car - and they can't get in!!! There is sometimes NO space to even walk up alongside their car. What do we do if this happens??? Get a tow truck and send the invoice to DCC?? Why should we accept damage to our car's paint and panels from people unable to squeeze into their car doors?? Can your parking planning people please THINK about the practicalities of parking spaces. This is not the only area where parks are too narrow. Many people drive larger SUVs and Trucks now - meaning they NOR the people parked next to them have any room to open their doors. Make the parks wider please ASAP so that we can actually fit our car in them and actually use them safely. Thank you.
