 Ms BLANDTHORN (Pascoe Vale) (11:48): (15 034) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and the question I ask is: will the minister consider upgrading the intersection of Sussex Street and Gaffney Street in Coburg/Coburg North? This intersection has a big roundabout in it, and with the development of the homemaker precinct and the Coles precinct this has become a particularly busy intersection. It was never actually built to carry the amount of traffic that is going through it. It has become particularly difficult for the buses that are stopping at the precinct and the passengers who are disembarking from the buses, and it has become particularly difficult for cyclists and pedestrians as well. I ask the minister if he would consider upgrading this intersection and putting traffic lights there.
