Light Rail to Sydney Metro and Accessible Public Parking
I believe connecting Taronga Zoo to the Sydney metro station with a light rail will bring multiple benefits to Mosman Village. 1. Reduction of traffic noise in the village: As already mentioned, this could work in conjunction with the pedestrian landscaped shopping village over Military Road from Spit Junction to The Buena. Proposed Light Rail Route: New Sydney Metro station - Ernest Street - Ben Boyd Road - Belgrave St - Gerard St - Macpherson St - Ourimbah Road - Spit Road - Military Road - Bradleys Head Rd 2. Environmental friendly: The light rail could be the core connection from the council to the rest of the city. Then the buses could be used locally to connect currently isolated areas to the light rail or to the public transport arteries (Spit Road - Military Road) 3. Materialise Mosman Business potential Under the Allan Border Oval a multi-storeys public carpark could be built with an easy access from/to Spit road, to attract Northern Beaches commuters to park there and to do shopping in the village. In addition to that, the Carpark would be ideal to reduce the traffic jams in the area on weekends mostly caused by buses and visitors passing through to Taronga zoo with their cars.

More recycling bins in common areas
My grandchildren were surprised to see a picture of an apple core on the Landfill bins at the beach. Why not have compost bins for food waste, and recycling bins for the ubiquitous takeaway coffee cups. Council could promote this at the monthly markets and even offer reusable coffee cups and get the numerous coffee shops in Mosman to participate.

Dog Poo Bags
Further the dog poo 'bag it' campaign and ensure all collectors tie their bags before tossing in passing residents' bins. The result is often squashed and smeared dog poo on the sides of bins after collection. This must stop.

STREET ART FOR MOSMAN
Over the past 2 years Mosman has had a chalk artist draw on the promendade at Balmoral. Why not make that into an art competition with an environmental theme....people pay to enter, they have allocated promenade square, winner gets a small prize, plus exposure, Mosman has free art. They do something similar in Italy, once a year they have art in flowers (literally) throughout the village....great tourist dest. and lots of flowers.
