Kew electorate
Jess WILSON (Kew) (14:43): (1238) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Has the minister considered meeting with residents who live near Yarra Boulevard in Kew to hear from them firsthand about the impact of dangerous driving along this road? Almost nightly these residents endure noise pollution from drivers speeding along Yarra Boulevard who remain undeterred by recent upgrades to the road that were supposed to reduce the speed of motorists. With police resources already stretched, it is simply not possible for police to maintain a presence there every night, and residents are concerned that it will be not too long before yet another fatality occurs along this road. I have also spoken with the Minister for Environment about the potential to trial EPA cameras around noise, because the hooning along Yarra Boulevard is keeping these residents up night after night, and we need to think about ways to slow down drivers along Yarra Boulevard. I ask the minister to consider meeting these residents and hope we can find some proactive solutions to support them.
