Glen Huntly Road, Elwood, pedestrian crossing

James NEWBURY (Brighton) (10:26): In 2022 the federal government provided 50 per cent of the funding for a pedestrian crossing upgrade at Glen Huntly Road in Elwood through the road safety program. A crossing is needed. The site is dangerous. The site supports several schools and a childcare centre and is a pedestrian thoroughfare which joins both sides of the Elster canal walking path. Initial designs, two years ago, by the state department proposed a crossing 200 metres away from where it was needed. Since accepting they had got the site wrong, the state Labor government has sat on its hands and the federal funding. When are we getting the crossing?
