I have been talking to the City of Port Phillip, John Holland and Metro Rail about the issues with the Queens Lane Kings Way/Toorak Rd intersection – especially during the evening peak.

It is never easy and has a fair element of risk but at the moment, with Bowen Cres closed at both ends, it is even worse.

The sharpness of both the entry and exit makes it very hazardous.

City of Port Phillip have been the most interested and helpful.

I have personally witnessed drivers deciding to make the exit from Queens Lane onto Kings Way/Toorak Rd a two lane exit – super high risk and a big issue when drivers try and head south!!

John Holland have made it marginally better  by removing one of the loading bays and placing a small dividing barrier in the middle of the road.

If you have the opportunity to take photos or video of your experience, I will send on to the right people.

Here are a few from a FIVE minute period in this morning’s peak – I’m not blaming these drivers, the road needs to be sorted out

Yarra Trams was doing some work last night in preparation for moving the trams to the far service lane.

Here is a video of the action from our newly installed camera

If you have any questions, the Metro Rail pop up shop is open this evening from 530pm – 730pm.  It is in the commercial premises of our building on the corner of Bowen Cres.

They are very happy to answer questions about anything related to the project – short term or long term

Here are details of impending traffic changes that you may want to ask about!!

Not sure if any of you have had similar hassles to me.  With both ends of Bowen Cres closed, it is a very slow process to get out onto Kings Way / Toorak Rd…especially at 5-6pm each night.

I reported this to John Holland a week ago and no real action

I reported it to City of Port Phillip last night and they were checking it out today…thanks City of PP

If you have any questions, the Metro Rail pop up shop is open until 730pm.  It is in the commercial premises of our building on the corner of Bowen Cres.

They are very happy to answer questions about anything related to the project – short term or long term

MM BROCHURE

MM NOTIFICATION 20180110 St Kilda Road works January FINAL

If you are sick of hearing the sound of reversing beepers from Metro Tunnel work, then please call the 1800 number and complain.  We have had extensive discussions with Metro Tunnel and they keep saying, they will stop it…but everyday there is another one and another one.

Here is today’s example 

What you need to do is call 1800 551 927 and tell them that you have heard a reversing beeper.  I always leave my name, not sure if it is compulsory?  I try and capture the rego of the offender.

You should only report vehicles working on Metro Tunnel work – not general delivery vehicles.  If you are not sure, tell them that and place the onus on them
