Irate customers from the Stanhope Village Shopping Centre are talking about their concerns regarding the public parking situation in Facebook.<\/p>\n
\u201dDrivers seem to drive straight through at full speed not even noticing the crossing…\u00a0 Almost ran over today while crossing with trolley and child which has become a recurring problem [as] this has happened more than once…\u00a0 Cannot seem to find a safe place in this car park regardless of trying all different places…\u00a0 Not worth the risk when shopping with three pairs of little hands to keep safe,\u201d said one review by a local, Myers Kim. <\/strong><\/p>\n As stated by a number of staff members and customers, it is evident that dangers within the parking lot can be attributed to its confusing layout.<\/p>\n \u201cThe pedestrian crossings are at random spots…\u00a0 They really need to re-design the whole parking lot.\u00a0It\u2019s extremely muddled, there is a lack of direction wherever you go,\u201d said Sarah<\/strong>, an employee of the centre from across the road.<\/p>\n When asked whether or not she felt safe in the parking lot environment she replied, \u201cNo, not at all…\u00a0 If I didn\u2019t know about the leisure centre across the road, and if I didn\u2019t park there…\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t come here.\u201d<\/p>\n Staff members of the centre are required to use separate spaces located towards the rear of the parking lot.\u00a0 Jaimi<\/strong>, an employee of Gloria Jean\u2019s Coffees for over three years found that the signage and safety implements were not adequate.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a staff member, you\u2019ve got to cross two lanes of traffic to enter the main car park.\u00a0Honestly, I stand there for ages, waiting for a break, there\u2019s no real pedestrian crossing for that part,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n When asked about the current state of the speed bumps in the parking lot, Jaimi said that the current safety implements themselves were a source of confusion.<\/p>\n \u201cThe speed bumps look like pedestrian crossings.\u00a0So pedestrians…\u00a0 From my experience of coming through the car park, the amount of times I\u2019ve had pedestrians step out in front of me…\u00a0I\u2019ve had to be vigilant of that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Centre management at Stanhope Village\/Mirvac<\/strong> declined to make any comment on the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Irate customers from the Stanhope Village Shopping Centre are talking about their concerns regarding the public parking situation in Facebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,49],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4401"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4401"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4401\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
