CONGESTION and Road Safety
The Kunda Park Survey found that fixing the precinct’s congestion and the dangerous Pike Street interesections is the number one priority for the precinct’s businesses, workers and property owners.
As well as the regular morning and afternoon gridlock on the access roads in and out the precinct, a number of survey respondents raised major safety concerns with the PIke Street intersection, with multiple reports of dangerous near misses involving heavy vehicles.
“It’s only a matter of time before someone gets killed or seriously injured at that intersection”
Minister for Transport and Main Roads the Hon Brent Mickelberg
KPA research has found that daily congestion is causing thousands of lost work hours and is costing Kunda Park businesses and workers a staggering $28m each year!
Upgrading the Pike Street Intersection was identified by the Dept of Transport and Main Roads as a project backin 2017, but as things stand, there is still:
“no funding allocated to complete detailed design or the construction of the project”
Survey respondants also raised major saftey concerns with the intersection.
If we want this situation to change any time soon we need to let Minister Brent Mickelberg (a proud Buderim local) why this is an urgent problem that needs to be his highest priority.
KPA has drafted an email to go straight to the Minister for you edit and make your own, or simply sign and send off as is! It only takes 30 seconds to have your say!
