She's saying people are concerned Mason St. will become a busy traffic corridor...
Yes, a street that currently is barely wide enough to accomodate 2 cars side-by-side is surely going to become the next Autobahn. Typical NIMBY scaremongering.

Oh great, I am out of town on that date. I wonder if I can persuade anyone to act as my proxy (or at least my eyes & ears) at the meeting?

Anyone read the Vic New article?
Oh boy...
While I think there is some area for improvement this response is ridiculous. Particularly Gudgeon's. She actually thinks that because she is the NP liaison that she should vote the way the community association thinks? She also equates the CA with the general population.

“(The St. Andrew’s) site is a great development site that could really strengthen the neighbourhood.”
At the same time, she added, “I’m elected to represent the neighbourhood (and) the neighbourhood is opposed.”

This is why Cook St. Village's Castana project turned into a circus. The developer and residents both claimed the public was on their side. The Community Association was against it but the developers produced evidence that Fairfield as a whole thought it was a good idea.
Some may appreciate Gudgeon's honesty but she is being very undiplomatic here.

^ Well she is appointed as the rep for NP by council. She is not elected by the residents of NP as their rep. I would bet 95% of NP residents have no idea she is their rep. In her statement she equates the opinion of the NPNA as the opinion of all residents which I can assure you is not the case.

I'm afraid most NP residents don't care one way or the other. Indeed, even at the annual NP AGM, there are only about 18 people in attendance. Regular meetings, usually about 9.

That is typical throughout Victoria. A dozen or so passionate residents at most, typically much less. The vast majority of residents have opinions but the typical community association or City Hall meeting is not reaching them.
