Reinstate public thoroughfare 438 Seventeen Mile Rocks Rd
Result:
Thanks for the opportunity but we decided to set up our own webpage and do hardcopy petitions.
Dear Lord Mayor
We the undersigned object to the lack of safe walking and cycling space due to the recent closure of the privately owned tree-lined service road between Oldfield Road and Jennifer Street, parallel with Seventeen Mile Rocks Road (number 438) in Seventeen Mile Rocks/Sinnamon Park.
We agree that the Brisbane City Council should urgently address the danger and ensure a safe walkway and cycle path via the following suggested options:
1. Urgently return the service road to public use by negotiating with the landowner to lease the space, provide maintenance services as appropriate and cover public liability insurance as a temporary measure (while negotiations continue for a long-term plan for the area);
2. Consider buying at least a proportion of the land in question to return it to long-term public use (particularly for walking and cycling) – the entire piece of land is 8326 m2 (approx 400m x 20m) in size and valued at approximately $1.2 million; and
3. Ensure public consultation in the planning for the area’s future, with a view towards balancing transport, commercial, community and environmental concerns.
