With regard to speeding, its terrible, my partner was almost killed at the roundabout on Thompsons Rd walking home from the train station. A car lost control, slid and missed her by cms. When the primary school opens up, there will be kids everywhere which worries me. I too get tailgated and abused every time I jump on Boland - either that or almost slammed into as I turn onto Boland at the roundabout at the school because someone is flying and has to slam on the brakes! With these things, as what happened at Lynbrook, I very much doubt something will happen to fix it until someone dies, or a few accidents occur ICK So glad the building is over, never again. Loooove our house, but still not quite sure it was worth all of the stress they put us through! Re: Marriott Waters release --> Info / update center 1175Oct 13, 2010 3:46 pm Hi there. One thing you can do to address the traffic problem, is approach the road engineer department at the Casey Council and bring your concerns to them. They should send someone down to look at the problem and perhaps recommend some solutions, such as traffic calming options. It is really bad. We haven't even moved into the area yet, but when we do pop down to see how things are progressing, we have seen quite a bit of speeding. Good luck with it all. Re: Marriott Waters release --> Info / update center 1176Oct 17, 2010 5:39 pm Interesting topic about the traffic through the estate. Firstly, this is why we bought in a circuit, because we lived previously in Lynbrook on a road that was used as a rat-run because the council wouldn't put the connecting road through (and still hasn't). We also built a house this time with the master bedroom at the back and the kids rooms on the side - but you live and learn Secondly, hubby leaves for work at 5.30am most days and at that time in the morning he turns right at the traffic lights at the intersection of MW and Thompson Rd. But none of the cars want to stop at the red light. It gets to the point where hubby gets the green turning arrow, he creeps out into the intersection and the cars fly along, blast on the horn and abuse him. He points to the lights but it makes no difference. Absolutely crazy and got to the point where he now drives up through Melington and goes along Glasscocks to the roundabout. Even then he finds that cars don't want to slow down to stop and give way to a car turning right so they either nearly hit you or tail gate. The whole situation is appalling. It's not much better during the day either. Blog: http://bluemistkids.blogspot.com "Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark, and professionals built the Titanic." Re: Marriott Waters release --> Info / update center 1177Oct 23, 2010 3:33 pm This is an absolute failcake the way the roads have been designed around this area, I quite often hear hoon idiots booting it along Lyndhurst Blvd and some heros have done some burnouts along Boland Drive too. I didn't buy into Cranbourne cos of the bogan nature and plenty of hoons but now it seems like they've spread to Lyndhurst.... Re: Marriott Waters release --> Info / update center 1178Oct 23, 2010 3:35 pm On a more positive note, has anyone noticed the big display board where the old MW offices were, looks like it has been up dated to include the proposed retail centre design.
