My first comments relate to the whole area and the increased traffic that will come about from both the school and the new Bunnings at the intersection of Allambie & Rodborough roads. Should the proposed roundabout at Aquatic Dr & Allambie Rd, be considered in conjunction with the intersections at Allambie & Rodborough Rds, Allambie & Warringah Rds & finally Rodborogh & Warringah Rds to develop an integrated solution that can manage the increased traffic volumes? It seems that a piecemeal approach to the management of traffic flows will lead to poor outcomes. One such outcome will be the increased utilisation of the "rat run" through Mortain Av, Kurrabi Rd, Wyarama St & Government Rd - the first 3 of those have no footpaths which forces pedestrians to walk on the road. Increased traffic has the potential to increse the risk of pedestrian/vehicle accidents.

My second comment relates to safe pedestrian crossing locations for students at the new Forest High School. The update to the roundabout at Aquatic drive does not provide information on safe cross locations for students. Along Allambie Road in that area, there are only two locations where students will be able to cross Allambie road safely at lights; they are at the intersection of Allambie Rd & Mortain Ave, approximately 375m away from the school and at the intersection of Allambie & Warringah Rds, some 385m away from the school. There is also the small pedestrian island located at the intersection of Allambie Rd & Sunlea Place. Are these to be the only crossing options for children walking to school?

I am in support of this project and those of the school relocation and bunnings - but want to ensure that traffic / pedestrian management in the local area has been well considered to ensure safety and local community quality of life is protected.
