It seems incredible, but traffic is still prevented from using the short section of Keira street connecting Crown and Burelli streets.
When this was closed to traffic and made a virtual bus stop years ago the city traffic flow was disrupted and movement north/south became a tedious and disjointed journey. Finally, the council saw sense and promised that the problem would be solved by reopening this stretch - by last June !
The bus stops have been removed to Crown or Burelli streets, the pavement has been repainted with new traffic lanes and the traffic lights reworked to allow an all way " Barnyard scramble " - as is the case at Crown and Kembla intersection.
So - what is holding up the parade ?
Pure, sclerotic nonsense ! It seems the bureaucracy is sitting joining paper clips and twiddling it's thumbs - and it is now " hoped " that traffic may get to use this important piece of roadway - by this Christmas !
That's three more months into the future ! Just what does it take to make something happen in " the city of sclerosis ? "
