Question on notice - Moonee Ponds Creek Trail

2016-03-21

Ms DUNN — To ask the Minister for Agriculture (for the Minister for Public Transport): In relation to the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail (MPCT) and user safety, which has been impacted by the CityLink Tulla Widening Project, creating a dangerous blind corner near the entrance to Strathmore Secondary College:

(1)    What was the process which allowed for changes to be made to the MPCT, which has now resulted in this blind spot being created.

(2)    Was the safety of school children, pedestrians, cyclists and workers of the CityLink Tulla Widening taken into account and if so, in what way.

(3)    How long do you anticipate the changes to the MPCT, from the CityLink Tulla Widening, creating the blind spot, to be in place.

(4)    Will you now install convex mirrors to mitigate the dangers faced by school children, pedestrians, cyclists and workers of the CityLink Tulla Widening, as well as anyone else who is a user of the MPCT.

ANSWER:

This question should be redirected to Luke Donnellan MP, the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, as it falls within his portfolio
