Mona Vale Road West Upgrade - McCarrs Creek Road, Terrey Hills to Powder Works Road, Ingleside
Upgrading 3.4 kilometres of Mona Vale Road from two lanes to four lanes between McCarrs Creek Road, Terrey Hills and Powder Works Road, Ingleside.
But one must ask the question as with the eastern upgrade why only 4 lanes and not 6. Mona Vale Road is a major arterial road just as Pittwater Road is. These 2 roads are the only roads out of the area.
As with Pittwater Road Warringah Road is also 6 lanes from Dee Why to Chatswood.
Ryde Road finishes at the under pass of the Pacific Highway at Gordon where Mona Vale Road commences and is 6 lanes all the way through St Ives to the start of the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden where it reduces to the current 4 lanes.
From the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden the 6 lanes should be continued all the way to Mona Vale.
What happens when Ingleside takes off in the short and long term?
As we have seen the gutter lane of Pittwater Road is now a dedicated B-Line bus corridor lane.
If Northern Beaches Council are successful then the gutter lane of Warringah Road from Dee Why to Chatswood will also become a dedicated bus lane.
So what then happens in the distant future when the population growth is such in this area that Mona Vale Road is needed for a dedicated bus lane, well there isn't one unless the gutter lane is taken over for a dedicated bus lane and we are back to where we are now with a two lane road.
Is this really adequate forward planning to be upgrading Mona Vale Road to have only 4 lanes when all other major roads that lead to it are 6 lanes?
