I am concerned about the diversion from the cycle path along Gore Hill and Epping Road. I am concerned that at a time when more people than ever are cycling to work in the city, those people will be diverted to busy roads putting them at risk and hampering traffic flows in an industrial/commercial area. Please reconsider the path, set up separate bike lanes or do something to mitigate this loss for 4 years. It will discourage active transport and push more cars on the road and more people crowded on public transport.

I am objecting as a the impact on the local environment and community will be severe. Building Vehicle links is crazy and my view is we should be looking at metro links which provide a better lower emission option for future generations. Also the local disruption and pollution will be significant from at least 5 years which is not acceptable.

The proposal to put the five site on the eastern side of flat rock drive is unacceptable because the bush land will be difficult if not impossible to remediate back to its current state
I strongly support the alternative which is to locate the dive site on the western side of flat rock drive where the current baseball field is
This area will be easy and far more cost effective to remediate
The eis talked about community consultation-this is simply not true and if there was it was a very narrow sample of the community that was considered

I am concerned about the environmental impact on Burnt Bridge Creek and the knock on effects to the flora and fauna if the flow of the creek is markedly reduced. I would like to be given guarantees that a solution will be researched and then implemented to protect the creek.

I object to this new mega road.
Why is an alternative rail link not being investigated and costed?
New roads increase traffic and car trips, whereas rail ads exactly zero congestion along its path. Rail is more efficient, less polluting and less total cost overall for the community. It would provide a link for employees to the Sydney CBD, North Sydney and Macquarie Park. Whereas this road will allow ppl to simply get stuck in traffic and make all the mentioned trips completely impractical.

Traffic in and out of the peninsular continues to increase, as much in weekends as weekdays. We desperately need the tunnel. Public transport initiatives such as the B1 bus service are helping to improve transit options (while other changes such as the removal of E71 services have been seriously retrograde), there is a clear preference for personal transport options, which means we need roads.

Yes, there will be disruption and dislocation, but we need you to move quickly and decisively to minimise those.

There are many who vocally object to the tunnel but a much larger majority quietly support it.

Please get on with it.

I have lived around DY for 6 decades. The congestion of traffic on our local roads is now at the point where everyday trips to work, school, sport, shops, recreation, visiting etc. is a frustrating, time consuming, environment destroying, nerve wracking experience. To say the least.
Dumping another 20 thousand cars and trucks everyday into Manly Vale, is this a joke or are you serious. Come out of the tunnel at Manly Vale then what, North along congested bumpy old concrete Pittwater Road or East down congested bumpy old concrete Sydney Road.
The local council is pushing for a B1 bus link between DY and Chatswood. Why not go with that, we have the buses and most of the road.
Dont waste OUR money on a dumb ass tunnel.

The proposed shared path detour is dangerous with too much traffic and steep elevation, please keep the shared path open to promote active lifestyle, and gain community support for project.

The shared path is used by a lot of people (myself included) to enjoy traffic-free exercise, closing it will force everyone onto busy and challenging roads, and increase the likelyhood of injuries.

I only object on the grounds that I believe that after the tunnel is built that Flat Rock Gully should be restored as it is now. It’s new purpose should not be determined by Council. It should be restored as a beautiful gully and bush land for walking track and nature as it is now.

I OBJECT to this project because it will significantly impact the health, safety and well-being of my family. We live in the area and my children will attend a primary school that the EIS has shown will suffer unacceptably high levels of toxic air pollution during and post construction. Our local parks and wildlife (particularly flat rock gully) will be destroyed and this is unacceptable in the 21st century. The benefit to the areas impacted have not been quantified through the business case; the very issue of traffic congestion along Military Rd will not be eased by this tunnel because the majority of this traffic is local and the tunnel will NOT fix this!!
No alternatives have been considered, despite years of requesting these to be included. I’m imploring the government to legitimately re-consider this project.
