Liberals criticise Peninsula access

Liberal Candidate for Gosford Cr Chris Holstein has criticised the adequacy of Brisbane Water Dr and Woy Woy Rd in providing access to the Peninsula.

Showing Shadow Minister for Infrastructure Mr Greg Pearce MLC the area, Cr Holstein said: "Both Brisbane Water Dr and Woy Woy Rd are both major access roads to the F3 for every peninsula resident.

"The inadequacies of Woy Woy Rd at its southern end and Brisbane Water Dr add to the daily woes of every Peninsula resident."

Cr Holstein said he invited Mr Pearce to see first hand what residents of the Peninsula "have to put up with everyday" on their way to and from work.

Cr Holstein said the southern end of Woy Woy Rd "desperately needed" both a road upgrade and a new railway underpass

"A railway underpass would see the closure of the Rawson railway crossing and would minimise the risk to pedestrians and motorists," said Cr Holstein.

Mr Pearce was also shown the traffic at the intersection of Brisbane Water Dr and the Pacific Highway near Manns Rd.

"This intersection creates a major bottleneck for travelers heading in and out of the Peninsula, adding precious minutes to their daily commute to work," said Cr Holstein.
