This development should not go ahead. Lowry Street is dangerous enough as it is and the intersections of Bancroft St and Lowry St and Alfred St and Lowry St have already seen MANY accidents and MANY MANY near misses. This type of development is not suitable for this area as the infrastructure of roads cannot support it safely. The plans to block Alfred St at the western end will only make the above intersections and Lowry St more dangerous. Please reconsider.

I have only just become aware of this application, and am concerned that it is inappropriate for the site and will also have adverse impacts on the surrounding neighbourhood. Alfred St has a very poor visibility junction with Lowry St, and Lowry St already has a high traffic load, being used by many as a short cut between Jubilee St and Main Rd Cardiff. I gather that there are also plans to block Alfred St at its intersection with Glendale Drive. These plans are of huge concern in their own right, but the combination of that western blockage with increased local traffic in Alfred St would greatly magnify what is already a hazardous local traffic situation. It is unavoidable that Bancroft St would also carry part of the increased traffic load and its intersection with Lowry St is also less than optimal. A site with such constrained and hazardous access is not suitable for a facility of this type.

Increased traffic, parked cars and pedestrian activity in the middle of this residential area will have a negative impact on the neighbourhood. This hazardous intersection would only be made worse.
I also feel there is little to no need for another child care centre in the area. There are several other, better situated options with vacancies in the area.
