Roads are higher priority

I am somewhat flabbergasted to read that zillions of dollars are to be spent on the Rawson Rd Woy Woy Level Crossing replacement.

As far as I can remember (we have been in the area since 1980), no fatality has been recorded there and the queues are really not that bad when the barriers are down.

However, I sincerely hope that when the work is finished, there will be a little bit of money left in the till to improve the overall quality of the Peninsula road network, which presently is at its worst in decades.

Other urgent matters could also then be attended to, like constructing those kerbs, gutters and sidewalks that local residents, especially those with walking difficulties or on mobility scooters, have been demanding for ages.
