As I ponder the New South Wales Transport Construction Authority's (TCA) new car park proposal which seems it is 'sealed with a kiss' deal - I have realised we are rated low in respect to amount of car park spaces that will be provided to the new proposal.
What do I mean - quite simply - Facts: St Marys car park 500 car spaces, Seven Hills over 700 car spaces, Blacktown proposed 500 car spaces, Emu Plains 250 car spaces - leaving Mount Druitt with only 220 proposed car spaces - with a 2006 census population of 56,000 ( not including suburbs surrounding Mount Druitt) the proportionate of car spaces to population is very little and to promote public transport within Mount Druitt (to catch trains) the amount of car spaces to Mount Druitt commuters would be a 'dfrop in the ocean'. Why is Mount Druitt neglected as a small place when it comes to infrastructure and planning?
I think now the TCA has something to respond to now - as if they would have used current the bus interchange stretch of land (or now concrete) and dealt with Westfield's it would have been more practical and beneficial to all involved. Who cares of little 'Mount Druitt'?
