The reason there is no decision to provide an additional raised crossing point south of the underpass is because there is currently insufficient funding available within the scheme budget. The construction of a raised crossing is costly, especially as we would need to undertake extensive drainage works. The old crossing point used bypass channels to help remove surface water. Bypass channel becomes heavily silted, eventually blocking, causing the road to flood. Therefore the new crossing point will have traditional gullies connected to the sewer.
Please be aware that if I were able to obtain the funds I would gladly design an additional crossing point. I have not chosen to provide one because I believe it would not be as safe as the existing island, but because my hands are financially tied.
Reference has been made to the work I have previously carried out in Perry Vale. If you could inform me as to where the blots are which I've made I will look into them and see if anything can be done to try improve things. I have been a resident of Perry Vale North for nearly nine years now and would hope the work I have done benefits those in the local community.
