I have lived in St Albans for almost 26 years and have witnessed the increased congestion on Taylors Road. Due to the increased development of outer suburbs, without the proper road infrastructure to support to the same. this has caused significant delays to my travel time getting to and from work whereby, I am now considering moving closer into the city to avoid this problematic traffic that is largely caused by the traffic congestion on Taylors Road. It feels as though more affluent suburbs are prioritised for road infrastructure over the western suburbs. This is leading to equitable access to vital services and to quality of life. It’s time that the western suburbs are prioritised and given equitable access to equal infrastructure to support the increase of outer suburbs that is now putting additional pressure on pre-existing suburbs such as St Albans unfairly and unjustifiably.
