Liverpool demands “world class” infrastructure

Liverpool City Council has called on Premier Chris Minns to honour his promise that the upgrade of Fifteenth Avenue will be a “… world class piece of transport infrastructure”.In a Mayoral Minute unanimously adopted by the Council last night, the council also decided to thank all those who committed to or assisted the council to gain the $1bn upgrade to the crucial road link to Western Sydney International Airport.Currently a two-lane suburban road, Liverpool City Council wants it to be a high capacity, multimodal transport corridor that serves the region for decades to come, Mayor Ned Mannoun said.“Fifteenth Avenue is poised to turn into Liverpool’s main link to the Bradfield and beyond,” the Mayor said.“Currently, more than 22,000 vehicles per day use the two-lane Fifteenth Avenue.“Residents face congestion every day and it will only worsen as Austral and surrounding suburbs continue to develop.“The pressure on our local road network is already unsustainable, and further delays will continue to diminish the quality of life for our residents.“In order for the road to be world-class, FifteenthAvenue needs at least six lanes – including a fast transit corridor.“The upgrade must include footpaths and cycleways which promote active transport, enhance liveability and ensure pedestrian safety.“Such a design will ensure seamless movement of people and goods, reducing congestion and travel times while facilitating economic growth.“Connecting Fifteenth Avenue to Bradfield and Western Sydney International Airport should not be deferred to a later stage beyond the announced 2031 delivery timeframe (4 years commencing 2027) – the community needs this upgrade now.“The Premier has promised a world class infrastructure project: it is our role, as a Council, to hold the State and Federal Government to that promise and to give the community the infrastructure they deserve.“That’s why we will continue with our advocacy campaign and keep the issue alive,” the Mayor said.
