How will you prevent the Sefton Road extension becoming a ‘rat run’?
The Sefton Road extension is required as an emergency access in the event of a bush fire, as well as for peak park usage periods only. It is not required to provide day to day through access.
Careful road design will ensure the opportunity for the road to be used as a ‘rat run’ is minimised, including the use of road barriers to prevent vehicular access outside of peak park usage times, such as opening on Saturday for weekly sports fixtures.
