Bayshore Avenue - Griggs Creek Bridge

The Independent reports  "Homes backed, bridge opposed" (April 1, 2011) that a bridge from Bayshore Avenue in Clifton Springs over Griggs Creek connecting into the Jetty Road estate is back on the City of Greater Geelong's plans.

"Residents have welcomed a new residential development at Clifton Springs but fear a proposed bridge to the land could ruin their quiet streets, according to an objector.

John Boland said the residents of Bayshore Avenue and Kewarra Street were worried about the bridge directing “hundreds” of vehicles past their homes each day...

Mr Boland said residents gathered a petition with 244 signatures against an initial 2008 plan for the bridge over Grigg Creek to Clifton Springs’ Jetty Road growth area...

Cr Macdonald said a bridge planning permit application would probably go to a hearings panel after council attracted 35 objections."
