PT NEPEAN RD RYE

REMOVING 2 CAR LANES FROM PT NEPEAN ROAD RYE

THERE ARE ONLY 2 ROADS THAT FEED THE SOUTHERN MOST PART OF THE MORNINGTON PENINSULA, ONE IS THE MAIN ARTERIAL PT NEPEAN ROAD & THE OTHER INFERIOR ROUTE IS MELBOURNE RD WITH A LOT OF TURNS & ROUNDABOUTS. THIS MEANS ALL EMERGENCY VEHICLES & MOST OTHER TRAFFIC COMES ALONG PT NEPEAN ROAD THROUGH RYE.

ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF TRAFFIC DIVERTING THROUGH RESIDENTIAL STREETS TO AVOID PT NEPEAN ROAD, OR HOW THE STREET TRADERS WILL FARE?

DO YOU WONDER HOW THE FOOTPATH SITTING AREAS WILL WORK? DO TRADERS PAY FOR A FOOTPATH LICENSE LIKE EVERYWHERE ELSE ON THE PENINSULA? HAS THE NATURE OF THE SHOPS IN RYE BEEN CONSIDERED, EXACTLY HOW MANY HOSPITALITY VENUES ARE THERE THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM STREET TRADING IN THIS AREA & HAVEN’T THEY ALREADY MADE THE CHOICE?

DO YOU WONDER WHY THE FORESHORE IS NOT CONSIDERED AS AN AREA FOR CONGREGATING, RELAXING, PLAYING & PICNICKING RATHER THAN FOOTPATHS ON AN ARTERIAL ROAD & WHAT ABOUT THE MILLIONS SPENT ON NAPIER PLAZA?

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE PLANNING FOR THE REDUCTION OF LANES ON PT NEPEAN ROAD RYE STOPPED & THE CHANGES TO PT NEPEAN RD REMOVED FROM THE RYE TOWNSHIP PLAN SCOPE, PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION & LEAVE A COMMENT.
