I strongly object to the proposed extension of the New M5 as it is currently proposed.

The roads around Alexandria and St Peters will be gridlocked with traffic. I now hear that they predict 70,000 cars when the current roads carry 7,000. Where will this traffic go? Extending the Euston Road / McEvoy St is not the answer.

The proposed changes to traffic including changes to deny current right hand turns will mean:
- Residents will not be able to get out of the suburb and may be forced to use the west connex
- Cars will be gridlocked and will start meandering through the streets trying to find a quick way out.
- Traffic will be at a standstill
- The noise and pollution will be excessive to local residents.
