Residents angry over bridge traffic light plan BY GRACE CABELL Residents of St Andrews Hill Rd, in Ferrymead, are concerned major traffic issues will arise following the completion of the Ferrymead Bridge. A set of traffic signals at the foot of the hill are planned following the opening of the bridge. Residents say signals planned

for the intersection will cause a backlog of traffic travelling downhill on St Andrews Hill Rd. The $34 million bridge rebuild is due for completion in April this year. Residents say they were not consulted about the new traffic signals and are angry. “It’s going to be a nightmare. I have shown this plan to five

residents of the area, asking for their opinions, and they have all quite literally hit the roof,” said Bridget Dadds, who lived on the road. Another resident Chris Thomson said he had posted information about the issue on various community websites and Facebook pages and had received an

overwhelming response. “There has been a lot of people commenting who are really concerned. “The traffic will back up St Andrews Hill Rd and you will have to go across the busy intersection to try get out. “It’s so flawed it’s not funny.” • Turn to page 2
