North Ryde Station Precinct

The North Ryde train station currently does not include ANY parking for CARS or BICYCLES. There is no public transport (bus) link for North Ryde residents to travel from the township to the station.

I would love to be able to catch the train to work but can not do so until the parking situation is addressed. Many of neighbours have expressed the same frustration.

Any development to the North Ryde station area should first address commuter parking. Following which you have my support for further residential and commercial dwellings.

COMMUTER PARKING - should be available in abundance to cater for current and future residents to access the under-utilised North Ryde station and reduce traffic on the heavily congested Mowbray Rd, Delhi Rd and Epping Rd.

PRIORITISE PARKING FOR BIKES to further encourage more cars off road around the station area. Having a large secure and free bike parking area immediately next to the station sends a positive message to the community.

PARKING FOR CARS will also help creating a sustainable transport network. I would suggest making sure there is ample free parking for commuters - but ensuring that residents in nearby dwellings (as per current development submissions) are NOT able to leave 2nd cars in these spaces. Perhaps 12hrs free?

Please don't hesitate to contact me for any further consultation.

As a local resident of North Ryde I wish to object strongly to the size of the proposed North Ryde Station Precinct Development (Station North and Station South Sites).The main reason is that already, our community cannot "move" during peak hour traffic, and we currently have our narrow suburban streets used as car parks, causing great concern for residents of Ryde. When you turn into your local streets, car's are parked on both sides of the road all day, as their owners go off to work on either the train (nowhere to park to catch North Ryde Train) or the bus. Almost every day as you turn into the streets that lead to where I live, you almost have a head on collision. Every day a gridlock occurs with at least one car having to reverse back for many metres to allow the other car to pass! Angry drivers abuse you, it is a major problem. I have written to the council previously in regards to this matter. This development states that there will be 3000 more homes created, how on earth can our area cope with this influx of people and their cars. Already to leave my home and travel to Wahroonga at approximately 8.20 am, it can take me almost 20 - 30 minutes just to get to Lane Cove Road, from Betty Hendry Parade. This is using Epping Road, and supposedly travelling against the peak hour traffic. Alternatively, if you choose to shop at Macquarie Shopping Centre and leave to come home after 4pm, it can take you almost 40 minutes to travel 3 kms, and again this is supposedly travelling against the peak hour traffic. Already there are major developments of apartments going up near Macquarie Centre, with more about to start being built near the Lane Cove Road/Epping Road intersection, not to mention all of the apartments being build along Mowbray Road on the way to Chatswood. As I drive to work along Lane Cove Road towards West Pymble, I look at all of the traffic just stopped every morning heading to Macquarie Park. It is just like looking at a car park! I am not opposed to development nor am I to change, however, I just feel that at the moment there is so much development going on which is being fueled by the housing boom, and once it happens there is no going back. There are just too many cars/people for our current infrastructure, and by just changing a few roads or the access into roads is not going to fix the problem. We will all suffer, more than we are now, and that is hard to imagine. I understand people need housing, but this proposed development is just far too big for our area to support. Also, North Ryde and Ryde are areas where people from all over Sydney pass through when travelling from East to West and North to South. We are at saturation levels now. I just hope that common sense will prevail, and that the development can proceed, but on a smaller, lower rise level, one that is much more in keeping with our area, as it used to be a great place to live!

I object to the height and size if this proposal.
You are not providing adequate car spaces for these residents, 1 carapace per unit, all other cars parked around local streets.
What provisions have been made for schools, the local schools are at capacity as is, same with local hospitals. Our roads...just try get onto epping rd from pittwater rd in the morning, now lets add another 800 cars as we all know these residents aren't all going to travel by rail.
And that is just to start with..

Has the city if ryde not provided enough housing recently, with top ryde, and meadow bank developments, might I add none at these crazy heights that have been proposed for north ryde station precinct.
