I object to the project in it's current form.
Per previous comments provided, the current design does not consider the impact on local residential streets and the safety of residents.
I would request that the design be altered to prevent access from O'Connel street into, and from, the F6 extension.
This road is already used as a peak hour Rat Run for cars trying to bypass General Holmes Drive. The addition of traffic, including trucks, to and from the F6 extension would make the roadway unsafe for local children crossing to go to the local schools, parks and sporting fields that are along this street.

The road is also a cycle way used by many cyclists and is not suited to large volumes of traffic especially heavy vehicles that would use the road as a short cut.

Whilst I am in favour of this project, the proposed junction with Presisident Avenue will cause delays particularly to vehicles wanting to continue on the A1. This is due to yet more delay-causing traffic lights being added, not just with the F6 junction but with Civic Avenue as well. If the junction with the F6 was a sunken roundabout with slip roads to and from the A1 these delays would be avoided. See attached file. Although this arrangement would be considerably more expensive and cause more problems during construction there would be several advantages.
1) There would be no delays to any traffic on the A1.
2) As the entrance to the F6 tunnels would already be below ground level the cut-and cover section would start earlier so more of Rockdale Millenium park would be restored.
3) The roundabout would provide access to any southward extention of the F6 without any further work on the A1.
I am free to discuss this at any time if this brief description is not clear.

Instead of spending billions on dollars on building more roads, which will only carry more cars, those funds should be allocated on extending and improving public transport infrastructure. Just returned from a trip to Tokyo, with a population the size of total Australia, where not many people choose to drive, instead they catch the extensive public transport network, which we found easy to navigate after the first day.
The benefits of keeping cars off the road are numerous, the least of which is that the public transport system would probably start to make some money!

Hi,
It is critically important that there must be a major all-directions continous on and off-ramp interchange free of traffic lights where the F6 extension adjoins the M5 / New M5 and West Connex. Lets call this interchange the Arncliffe Interchange. This is so that, for example, travellers can use the Arncliffe Interchange to come and go and from all of the surrounding local suburbs such as Arncliffe, Turrella, Earlwood, Bardwell Park, Banksia etc, and who under the current plan are prevented from locally accessing or leaving the F6 / West Connex, thus causing bottlenecks at the few places where such access can be gained, and only after having to drive though overcrowded local streets full of traffic lights. People travelling north on the F6 extension will be able to either exit at the Arncliffe Interchange, or head west along the M5 / New M5. People heading east along the M5 / New M5 will want a continuous traffic-light-free connecting ramp onto the F6 Extension so as to then head south. People in the aforementioned suburbs will want on and off ramps to head north along the West Connex without having to drive along the Princes Highway which is full of traffic lights. People heading south along the North Connex will want to readily exit the West Connex at the interchange so as to access their homes in the surrounding suburbs. It is a major shortcoming not to include such an interchange.

Re Application # SSI 8931 F6 Extension Stage 1
Further to my previous written submission to the RMS (Jan 2018) Having read the current Preferred Infrastructure Report I object to the project in its current form as (1) There are no plans to minimise the anticipated traffic congestion and gridlock expected on O'Connell Street & Chuter Avenue which are already being used as feeder roads to President Avenue and will only worsen and become "Rat Runs" once the project is completed. There are no proposals for additional traffic calming measures along O'Connell Street & Chuter Avenue to reduce the attractiveness of this route to non-local traffic. (2) There is no commitment to the F6 being extended to Taren Point, this would negate my concerns in item one. (3) There is no freight connection planned to Port Botany.
Kind regards,
Anthony Poplett
