U-turns on Greenhill Road has Wayville residents hot under the collar.
A resident has forwarded me a letter sent to the Minister for Transport and asked that I add it to my blog. Here's the letter.
Ignore the negative article in this week's EC Messenger. What was reported is not fact.
I made a phone call today to follow-up on an email ... and I have it on good authority that Millswood Station will be re-opening as promised by the Premier during the recent election campaign.
The confusion was due to a communication hitch.
It's all sorted and the station WILL re-open.
The target date is still early July 2014.
The local community has expressed interest in sprucing the station surrounds eg. with a mural and gardens etc.
The Department of Transport (DPTI) received submissions from 104 residents and organisations re the proposed road works in the median strip along Greenhill Road.
On 4th April they wrote to all residents advising that there had been a significant response from residents. 34 supported the scheme, 58 opposed it and 12 were unspecified.
As a result, the design has been modified (as outlined in the letter).
These modifications will make it easier and safer for local residents and businesses to access the U-turn facilities.
You are invited to find out more about the latest plans by attending a public meeting on Monday 14 April at 6.00pm at Unley Town Hall. We look forward to seeing you there.
The drawings can be found at www.infrastructure.sa.gov.au/road_projects.
If you would like a copy of the plan sent out please email to DPTI or phone 1300 794 880.
Construction work is scheduled to start in mid to late May 2014 and will be completed by the end of June 2014, weather permitting.
Today I attended the opening of the new playground at Forestville Reserve.
Lots of Mums and Dads were there with their kids.
The in-ground mini trampolines will be a huge hit.
The popcorn and fairy floss tent was doing a brisk trade, everything free, courtesy of Unley Council.
The Swimming Club did well with a sausage sizzle fundraiser.
There's a BBQ nearby - have a picnic while the kids play safely - at least, it's a soft fall.
A shade sail will be added in readiness for next summer.
