Mitcham's Corner Development Framework SPD

Representation ID: 31209

Received: 06/09/2016

Respondent: Thomas Flannaghan

Representation Summary:

I agree with the challenges shown here. I would add that the junction with victoria avenue is especially dangerous when approaching mitcham's corner from victoria avenue when one wants to get onto the central island from the carriageway, or when one wants to turn into the right hand lane (e.g. to get to victoria road). In both cases, you need to cross from the on-road cycle path at the left of the lane to the right hand side of the lane, which is difficult and dangerous if there is a queue of traffic waiting and the lights change.
