Public Exhibition WestConnex M4-M5 Link MOD 2 (SSI-7485-Mod-2) - Annandale and Rozelle
Proposed modification
- A new elevated vehicular overpass (‘The Crescent overpass’) that would allow eastbound traffic heading north on The Crescent from Annandale to bypass the signalised intersection at The Crescent / City West Link junction and continue east on The Crescent towards Victoria Road and the Anzac Bridge
- Modifications to the eastbound lanes of the City West Link and The Crescent on either side of the intersection and northbound lanes on The Crescent at Annandale to provide space for the tie-in of The Crescent overpass
- Upgrades to the intersection of The Crescent / Johnston Street / Chapman Road (including lane reconfiguration and marking, signal phasing, adjusting positions of traffic signals kerb works etc.)
- Realignment of the Pedestrian and Cycling Green Link (‘green link’) to the west of The Crescent, providing a connection between the Rozelle Rail Yards and the Rozelle Bay light rail stop
- A new shared user path bridge (‘shared user path bridge’) spanning The Crescent to the east of The Crescent / City West Link intersection. The shared user path bridge would provide a connection between the Rozelle Rail Yards and the at grade surface connection (the ‘shared user path’) to Bicentennial Park along the east side of The Crescent adjacent to Rozelle Bay. The shared user path bridge and shared user path would provide the pedestrian and cyclist connectivity required by Conditions E120 and E121 for the project albeit in a different arrangement to that shown in the EIS
- Minor changes to the layout of the approach roads leading to the Anzac Bridge from Victoria Road, The Crescent and the Rozelle Interchange to improve traffic merging arrangements
- Use of a minor construction ancillary facility, established in accordance with Condition C24, as a construction ancillary facility. The proposed C6a construction ancillary facility site would be located on the south side of The Crescent to the west of James Craig Road and adjacent to Rozelle Bay. The proposed modification would allow use of the site for a limited number of additional purposes which are not permitted by Condition C24 including:
− Light vehicle parking for workers (around 9 spaces) and
− Material laydown areas and a limited number of associated vehicle movements (small delivery vans and rigid trucks).
More Noise, More Traffic, More Air Pollution and loss of Mural
The Modification report will be exhibited for 28 days from 21 August to 18 September 2019.

Buruwan Picnic
NoW Annandale are organising a "farewell picnic" for Buruwan Park 4-5pm Sunday 10th March 2019.
Come along and let the NSW Government, Westconnex and RMS know that you know that they are destroying a precious park, trees and habitat the the community has worked on for over 25 years.
Rally Buruwan Park, 15 Feb 2018
Council has put up corflutes in the park to inform the hundreds of pedestrians, cyclists, light rail and bus passengers who use the park every day.
The RMS is yet to advise how pedestrians and cyclists will get to work, school and everywhere else they go via the park during construction and operation of the proposed road widening of the Crescent Annandale as part of Westconnex Stage 3.
There is an issue of trees being destroyed and increased heat island affect as well as over 25 years of Bush regeneration by volunteers.

A good time to email state and federal MPs, the Minister for Transport, the Minister for Planning, the Minster for the Environment and the Premier.
