LIGHTS: Coldstream Residents have their say

The picture is of Glenn Patterson (CEO of Shire of Yarra Ranges) receiving the original letters of Coldstream residents from Christine Fyffe MP (Member for Evelyn) requesting council reverse its decision to leave the tree at the intersection of the Melba and Maroondah Highways.

Let's hope we get this matter resolved so we can move onto more issues that concern Coldstream residents.

A COMMENT BY TONY:

I wish council would realize that it is often almost impossible to safely exit Ingram Road onto the Maroondah Hwy at weekends. This is even more dangerous because at weekends there is always a steady stream of cars and trailers trying to get to the council recycling center. The number of hair raising dashes across the road one sees is quite alarming. Traffic lights must be installed somewhere as soon as possible to provide pulsed gaps in the flow of Maroondah Hwy traffic.
A trivial debate about the fate an unimpressive lop sided tree rather than urgent action to fix a dangerous traffic situation does little to enhance the standing of council in our community.
Maybe one of the councilors should be made to live in Ingram Road and experience the problems on a daily basis.
