THE Invermay Traffic Investigation Report is due to be completed by the end of 2017 (The Examiner, November 14).
It would seem the intersection of Lindsay and Goderich Streets which is adjacent to Charles Street Bridge is the worst performing intersection in Launceston, this is before any further development such as the Silo's complex and planned expansion in the area abounding Bunnings.
Will a similar study be initiated at the Tamar Bridge end of Lindsay Street? Not according to the City of Launceston Council at its meeting on November 21.
They intend to whack some traffic lights up and then hope that the area can cope with the 30,000-plus vehicle movements a day, this is before the UTAS campus is built, which will add another 15,000-plus.
Is the campus considered a poor cousin to an hotel development, it does seem that some intersections are more equal than others.
