Chaos on Akuna Street

akuna street

IT’S matter of time before someone gets badly hurt on Akuna Street and I’m particularly incensed with this because one of them might be me.

The issue is that there’s big new buildings there and the carparks dump out onto the street across the footpath.

Most drivers are very careful but most is a long way from all.

I’ve had a number of near misses in recent months and it’s not helped when, as pictured today, delivery trucks pile up out onto the street forcing pedestrians onto the busy road just to get by.

Other buildings are designed to give both drivers and pedestrians longer sight lines onto each other. Hopefully we can at least avoid this mistake in future construction.

Who can be trusted?

In a world of spin and confusion, there’s never been a more important time to support independent journalism in Canberra.

If you trust our work online and want to enforce the power of independent voices, I invite you to make a small contribution.

Every dollar of support is invested back into our journalism to help keep citynews.com.au strong and free.
