As a resident and owner of a small business in Woodbrook, PoS, I think that the new traffic plan is a very good move except for the parking arrangements. At present parking in Woodbrook is a nightmare. I do not believe any of the traffic planners live or work in the Woodbrook area so they do not really understand the parking woes of the residents and business owners. Parking on Tragarete Road and Ariapita Avenue should be allowed as these roads could easily accommodate four lanes of traffic. I am sure only the two centre lanes will be used in peak times. Please planners, someone should travel to Woodbrook (Tragarete Road and Ariapita Avenue) and look for a park, so that you can purchase a roti, flowers, photos etc without the wrecker breathing down your back.
