The proposed road will make it difficult for cyclists to use the new City Cycle Loop in the spirit that the loop was proposed for. It will also make it difficult for cars to leave the civic pool carpark. The current figures provided state that upon completion there will be approximately 200 cars coming off Parkes Way into Allara Street in peak hour. This project will also make the area less pedestrian friendly, particularly those accessing the pedestrian bridge from Allara Street to Commonwealth Park.
The ACT Government advises that the off-ramp is needed to reduce congestion at the Coranderrk Street roundabout on Parkes Way. However given that there are traffic lights at the intersection of Allara Street and Constitution Ave it is not clear how this project will be able to clear the additional 200 cars in an hour without backing up onto Parkes Way, reducing the ability of drivers to gain access to the driveways and car park entries off Allara Street.
Please join us in telling the ACT Government not to build the off-ramp and to come up with a longer term solution to the traffic issues on Parkes Way.

I don't think this is needed. There are already two existing off-ramps close to Allara St. Has any community consultation been carried out? The timing is all wrong as well, there is already enough disruption on Constitution Avenue.
The proposal appears totally illogical and would add to traffic congestion. It conflicts with the stated objective of the ACT Government to improve access to the lake and to encourage tourist and recreation activities there.
This is a retrograde step for pedestrian traffic to the residents and also for local residents. The current Rond Pond traffic arrangements work well.
IT will be unsafe for Civic pool car park and pedestrians. It will also be difficult to get in and out of the apartments safely too.
because of the negative effect it will have on residents.
Petitioning against due to the negative affect it will have on residents.
Will significantly affect Allara St residents and users

This area is a critical waypoint for city to the lake access by pedestrians and cyclists. There is absolutely no justification for this off-ramp as it will create major congestion problems and will make access to Commonwealth Park significantly more difficult.
