Ms DUNN (Eastern Metropolitan) — My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. The Swan Street Bridge is currently being upgraded. The works include a separated shared-use path on both sides of the bridge for pedestrians and cyclists. However, there appears to be no plan to improve the cycle paths that lie under the bridge on both banks of the Yarra, which are very narrow and are dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians. From VicRoads's own estimates, these cycling paths have up to 1000 cyclists per hour. My action is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety to ensure that the cycle paths under the Swan Street Bridge are widened and improved to accommodate growing cycle traffic as part of the upgrade works.
