Date: March 12 2025
Name of Council Member: John Rogers
Details of item to be added: BUSINESS ARISING MOTION: That new Eltham townhouse development road improvements on Eltham Street be amended to include two separate exit turn lanes-- left and right -- onto Helmcken. Alternate option: to install physical "no left turn" barrier on Helmcken forcing all Eltham exit vehicles and cyclists to travel north to the Phasant Lane roundabout and return back up. ISSUE: any additional cars (>20) and service vehicles for this development will significantly increase congestion, frustration, safety concerns and will decrease property values. The increased Bill 44 housing density on Helmcken frequent bus route will require no left turns. "Rat running" too.
