We acknowledge the Sydney Gateway and Qantas is competing for limited space with surrounding priorities and commitments.
There is a missing link in Sydney’s future active travel network - heavily impacted by the Sydney Gateway project. There is an opportunity to maintain future potential for an active travel link via Qantas Freehold lands.
We urge the Department of Planning to better facilitate direct connections from the Alexandra Canal cycleway to T2, T3 and beyond, to the Bayside Council network.

Background
------------------
Section 2.5 of the document CONSTRUCTION PEDESTRIAN AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE PROPOSED FLIGHT TRAINING CENTRE AND MULTI-DECK CAR
PARK, MASCOT (ref: 11146/2) states that "The surround [sic] road network and its intersections will be able to cater for the construction traffic.".
TRAFFIC REPORT FOR PROPOSED RELOCATION OF FLIGHT TRAINING CENTRE, MASCOT (ref: 11146/5)
Section 2.25 states "The intersection of O’Riordan Street and King Street operates with average delays of less than 30 seconds per vehicle in the peak periods. This represents level of service B/C, a satisfactory level of service;"
Section 3.34 states " The operation of the surrounding intersections has been reanalysed using SIDRA, with development traffic in place and the RMS road improvements. The analysis found that: ... The intersection of O’Riordan Street and King Street would continue to operate with average delays of less than 30 seconds per vehicle in the peak periods. This represents level of service B/C, a satisfactory level of service;"
Response
--------------
The traffic management plans cite Airport North Precinct Upgrades as justification of the continued "B/C level of service". The only change to the King St intersection is a new right turn bay from O'Riordan St into King St west. There are no changes planned for exiting King St west of O'Riordan St, turning onto O'Riordan St from east of King St or crossing O'Riordan St on King St in either direction.
Table 3.3 of the Traffic Report suggest that none of the intersections will have level of service affected. If planners do not acknowledge that the intersection level of service at King St west of O'Riordan St would be reduced by significantly increasing the number of cars using King St west of O'Riordan St then this has most likely been overlooked as an issue for traffic management both once the facility opens and during construction.
Public plans suggest that King St will remain offset at O'Riordan St leading to low visibility when turning. I have personally contacted RMS after nearly being hit by cars turning onto O'Riordan St both as a driver and a pedestrian (Contact: A/Senior Network and Safety Officer at Roads and Maritime).
It would be wise of RMS to review the safety and traffic flow of this intersection before allowing further development in King St west of O'Riordan St that would increase traffic.
