For a start, let’s put a back road out the back of the hospital up on to Lake Road and then widen Lake Road right through and make the roundabout at Jindlee Road two lanes straight through.

You can still turn right into Bunnings, or left into Jindlee Road heading west. Then build the road they stopped a few years back because of a few people.

You must look at the big picture and build for all the people - build the road from Ocean Drive through to Lake Innes.

They are building thousands of houses out near the donut and a hell of a lot more the other side of Lake Cathie.

Those new people will drink and flush their toilets and hose their gardens like everyone else and a lot will use Lake Road, too.

They will need a lot more bigger shops and a lot more parking.

The other thing I have heard people would like to see up here is an ocean pool.

Two other things - all pedestrian crossings should be marked - it is too confusing the way it is.

One woman was hit on one of those crossings that is not a crossing up near Video Ezy. And Hastings River Drive and Boundary Street traffic lights - I think there will be a bad smash there heading west with the road set out with the median strip on the western side.
