I live in Caroline Springs close to CS Square and my kid goes to a mild intellectual disability school in St Albans. Every morning, the commute on Taylors Road is horrendous especially starting on the approach to Gilson College and lasting up to Kings Road. The frustration it builds is through the roof and the collective inefficiencies are inexcusable.
My wife works in the CBD and relies on public transport to get to and from work. The worst part of her commute is not the changing of trains/trams but the first leg of the journey of getting to Keilor Plains station in the mornings and even worse is getting back home from Keilor Plains train station. Sometimes it takes the same amount of time to get to the City from Keilor Plains station than from Keilor Plains to Caroline Springs, sometimes worse on a bad day. All thanks to Taylors Road traffic.
In addition to duplication of Taylors Road, it would also help heaps if a pedestrian overbridge could be built in front of Gilson College to reduce the congestion caused by the traffic lights and the resulting gridlock caused by vehicles exiting and entering the campus.
I beg of the authorities, please help fix this stretch.
