For well over a decade, I have been asking Council to undertake a major upgrade of the Cliveden Ave and Oxley Rd intersection at Corinda. It is one of my key local budget requests to Council annually. The current intersection is dysfunctional and congested and hinders the efficient and safe movement of traffic during school peak periods as well as the evening peak hour. Of the 3,400 intersections in Brisbane, Cliveden Ave sits at no 439 on the crash list and is the 7th most dangerous intersection in Tennyson Ward.
It is essential that the intersection is upgraded to install new traffic lights with fully controlled turning arrows and turning lanes in all directions. Corinda State School was moved to its current location several decades ago to provide additional space for road upgrades that have never been delivered.
I am fighting for the improvements our community needs but I need your help to keep the pressure on the Lord Mayor and Council to make sure this important intersection upgrade is delivered. There are millions of dollars for marketing or projects like the Metro, with no local benefits, while important local intersection improvements that would help Oxley Road, and the surrounding streets function better are ignored.
