Just changing the topic for a moment to say that this week I’ve seen BCC Surveyors out and about working around the Rochedale Park n Ride - assumedly in relation to the Gardner Road extension project which will see Gardner Road connected up to Underwood Road, effectively replacing the old School Road connection that was lost when the Metro Depot and Busway annexed parts of School Road.
As a regular user of the Park n Ride, I am greatly looking forward to this project. It should really help reduce the significant congestion that occurs on the two lane Rochedale Road (especially around school time - Rochedale Road currently provides vital access to the 4 separate schools for many locals), and improves park n ride accessibility for residents of Priestdale Road (for example) who may avoid it on account of the Rochedale Road congestion.
After this, all that is left is to complete the Gardner Road connection between Priestdale Road and Miles Platting Road.
