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.
