[Constituency question] on Brimbank level crossing removal
My question today is for the Minister for Public Transport, Jacinta Allan. Brimbank City Council and the community tell me that the level crossings on the Regional Rail Link line at Robinsons Road and Station Road in Deer Park and Fitzgerald Road in Sunshine West are increasingly creating problems for traffic.
I saw for myself that the boom gates can be down for 35 minutes in an hour during peak times.
Given that train numbers are increasing as the population booms, could the minister tell me if there are plans to remove these level crossings and when?
