Locals have been encouraged to speak up about a proposed upgrade at two Blackwall Rd intersections with the submission period to close on December 22.
The upgrade of the Blackwall Rd intersections at Farnell and Allfield Rds, in Blackwall, form part of a $19M program to upgrade key intersection on the Peninsula.
Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch, said residents living along these roads, as well as commuters, should speak up and make a submission to Transport for NSW.
“It’s vitally important that local residents examine and have a say on the designs of the proposed upgrades along this busy road corridor,” Tesch said.
“Through consultation with the community, planners are able to identify problems and issues that may have otherwise been overlooked or not considered.
“All residents are welcome to make a submission and all concerns will be taken into consideration and will help shape the final designs of the upgrades.”
Transport for NSW said the future upgrade would improve journey times, manage traffic congestion and improve road user safety.
The department received community feedback on several intersection proposals initially in February and March 2020 and a total of 30 responses were received.
Of the 30 responses 16 were in relation to the Farnell and Allfield Rd intersections.
The department said this has allowed Transport to progress to the next stage of the design, taking community feedback into consideration.
Transport for NSW will now host an online information session where residents can learn more about the upgrades and ask the project team questions, details on when this session will occur will be made available on the project webpage.
They are now seeking community feedback on the next stage of the design and the Review of the Environmental Factors (REF) for the upgrade.

The submission period will end at midnight on Wednesday, December 22.
