Safer and easier school drop off at Radford College

So has anyone investigated why so many parents are dropping their kids off at this school, rather than catching a school bus or god forbid… riding a bike?

They do, if they pay tax.

Some pictures would be handy. The queues there in the mornings are ridiculous. I only hope the new entry includes steep rocky sections and river crossings, to put all those Audi, Mercedes and Range Rover 4WDs to use!

Is Radford paying for this? We’ve already had lane closures along Haydon Drive to accommodate drop-off zone and bus stops for this school.

Almost certainly – no.

In terms of safety and access, it would have to be one of the stupidest places to build a school anyway.

Anyway, if Radford was to pay/chip in, why shouldn’t push bike riders also pay for those absurd bike lanes painted on roads, all the residents/landowners/businesses along the route of the Gunners-Civic tram pay for all the facilitating roadworks & tram infrastructure, etc.

It’ was just yet again a dumb planning decision in the first place I’m afraid. Just like the poor access into and around Gunners itself – a failure of ACT Gov’t planning – and lack of common sense.
