Station street outside the Telstra Site no sign of roadworks in progress
Robert Hart took a walk down station street last Saturday with his camera. He
walked the entre length of the fenced areas taking photos and a movie blog
of what he saw.(see video)
No sign of construction or any roadwaorks to date except for woolworths
driveway into their construction site at the north end of Station street.
At the south end there is a blockade to vehicular traffic accross the road
next to the corner of Burringbar Street. (Milk and Honey) At the middle
entrance to station street Tincogan street there is a sign saying local
traffic only and no "No Through Road" sign and no detour sign.
As a result many cars taking the town centre bypass along the
Tincogan/Station streets are going into Station street and have to turn
around when they get to the arricade at the Burringbar intersection.
There is absolutely no roadworks of any description along the section of
station street where it is blocked off. Why are motorists prevented from
using this piece of road when there is no reason?
Who is supposed to be doing the roadwaorks? Woolworths or Council?
Do woolowrths intend to keep this piece of road blocked off as a statement
to mullumbimby residents that we control you and also as a deterrent to
any possible dissent?
The work description by Byron shire Council syas that the works involve
fixing drainage, widening the street, kerbing and guttering, and upgrading
of the roundabout at Burringbar street intersection. Strangely enough the
roundabout is not fenced off Why????
At the present rate of progress the works will not be completed in 12
weeks actually they may never be completed as zero work started times any
number of weeks equals zero ie never??
