I’m writing today because the volume of traffic and lack of safe space for pedestrians to travel has gotten out of hand on my street. I own a property on Diamondhead Road, and my home is a few houses down from the growing businesses at Mamquam & Diamondhead Rd.
This neighborhood does not have the parking space available to accommodate the booming businesses in our residential area. There is no side walk on Diamondhead Rd. and people are parking on both sides of the road leaving no safe place for people to walk, push a stroller or for wheelchairs to travel safely.
It is challenging most days to pull safely out of the driveway onto the road because the parking is so dense its impossible to see the traffic. Furthermore, people are often exceeding the speed limit by 20-30kms/hr, so combined with lack of visibility and speeding cars, near-misses are a regular occurrence.
