Rat-Run objections removed as well?

Re: “Rat-run extinct” (Mosman Daily, 14 August 2008): I congratulate the slightly humorously named STAG for succeeding in closing a notoriously over-used residential shortcut. Now they are able to reverse from their homes without fear of accidents, which is as it should be. I can understand the STAG opposition to the widening of the Spit Bridge and the impact that it would have had if their street was used as a short-cut by more vehicles. Now that the short cut is being removed, will their opposition to the Spit Bridge widening (or whichever alternative option the State presents) be removed along with it?

If not, I propose a set of traffic lights at Medusa Street, thereby enabling the Pearl Bay Avenue residents to turn right onto Spit Road, and join with the other traffic for their drive to the city.

This, I believe, is a fair solution for all.

Sincerely

The Cut Snake
