Manly Observer: A dangerous Wakehurst Parkway intersection linked to at least eight serious crashes in recent years is being redesigned by Transport for NSW. While TfNSW and local residents agree the current setup is unsafe, they disagree on how to fix it.
Elanora Heights Residents Association (EHRA) says Transport for NSW’s (TfNSW) proposed modifications to Wakehurst Parkway, particularly at the Elanora Road intersection, are a design failure and safety concern...
“These designs were already in place before I took office in November 2024 [with the project reaching final design stage in August 2024],” Ms Jacqui Scruby, Member for Pittwater, then asked of her views by Manly Observer.
“[Residents] concerns are entirely valid. Requiring vehicles to turn right across two lanes of high-speed traffic at an intersection with a tragic history presents a serious safety risk. I’ve raised this directly with TfNSW and will continue to advocate to ensure the community’s concerns are addressed.”
Ms Scruby recently questioned the Minister for Roads, and Minister for Regional Transport in Parliament in relation to the proposed design intersection of Elanora Road and Wakehurst Parkway. A response is due 3 July 2025.
