Greg Smith, member for Epping, Shadow Attorney General, and Shadow Minister for Justice in the NSW parliament, put out his December 2010 newsletter today with the front page devoted to concerns about the M2 Widening Project. One article is on concerns about the construction camp proposed for Waterloo Park, but that is outside the area I cover with this blog.
Another article directly affects Beecroft and Cheltenham residents. "Though assured that community consultation will be carried out before any decision is made, local residents are on edge as Transurban and the RTA confirmed that the bridge may be reduced to one lane for 20 months while the M2 upgrade is in progress."
Mr Smith says that 1,200 vehicles use the bridge in morning peak hour!
He also says "There has been more speculation recently that Transurban is proposing to demolish the bridge entirely, which would divide Beecroft and affect shops and businesses in the Beecroft Shopping Village". Mr Smith and members of the Beecroft Cheltenham Civic Trust are apparently meeting with Roads Minister David Borger to resolve this problem.
