Constituency questions

Eureka electorate


Michaela SETTLE

Eureka electorate

Michaela SETTLE (Eureka) (14:51): (299) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and I ask the minister for information regarding pedestrian safety on Main Street in Bacchus Marsh. Main Street is a major thoroughfare in Bacchus Marsh for local traffic. It is also a high-volume pedestrian area, with locals visiting the numerous cafes and restaurants and of course the village. I have heard from my community their concern with pedestrian safety on Main Street following several accidents involving pedestrians using the zebra crossing outside the village. Locals have told me they are experiencing distress as they look for alternative ways to cross this very busy street safely. Can the minister please provide information on what is being done in Bacchus Marsh to improve pedestrian safety and promptly consider upgrades for Main Street?
