Ivanhoe electorate
Mr CARBINES (Ivanhoe) (11:55): (1881) My constituency question is to the Minister for Roads in the other place, and I ask for information on the start and completion date for the $750 000 pedestrian-operated signals at Livingstone Street in Ivanhoe, which will connect sections of the Donaldson Creek Reserve and the pathways there—the active trails that people use. It was a very significant election commitment that was made just over a year ago and a very significant announcement to provide a safe passage across Livingston Street for local residents and also for those using Ivanhoe Primary School. There is really only a very small traffic island in the middle of Livingstone Street, and to get those pedestrian-operated signals in will be fantastic. I know there has been community consultation on design and development, but we are keen on details of the start and completion dates for that construction project. I came through there on my bike this morning, and there is no doubt that once we have those pedestrian-operated signals in place it will be much safer for everybody.
