 Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (19:07): (1423) My adjournment this evening is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and the action I seek is funding to deliver vital upgrades for an intersection in Drouin. My community was made aware the other day of the government’s investment for a 45-unit social housing complex at 2–6 Lampard Road in Drouin. Although I do welcome the investment in social housing in my area, because it is actually very important, this will have consequences for an intersection we have where this is being placed. The intersection is at Lampard Road and Porter Place, which also meets Main South Road in Drouin. Main South Road is one of the most congested roads in Drouin. When this development goes ahead, the intersection will become nearly unbearable for my constituents to get in and out, and for the people that will move into that unit complex it will become unbearable. We need this intersection upgraded when they start constructing the 45-unit social housing complex. I have had the opportunity to sit down with the Minister for Roads and Road Safety and explain to her the congestion issues in Drouin, and in particular Main South Road in Drouin, and this will just add to the complexity and the congestion within that township. I am urging the minister to have a look at this intersection, sit down with me again so I can explain to her the problems around it and hopefully get some funding to upgrade this intersection when this unit development is constructed.
