Melville Road–Bell Street tram stop
Ms BLANDTHORN (Pascoe Vale) (17:19): (1923) I appreciate the opportunity to raise a matter for the attention of the Minister for Public Transport, and the action I seek is an assurance from the minister that there will be a Myki machine included in the upgraded tram stop at the corner of Melville Road and Bell Street. This terminus, located at the busy intersection of Melville Road and Bell Street, is being transformed to become a much more accessible and safe spot for the Pascoe Vale community. I know this has been welcomed by the local community, particularly those with mobility aids or prams. The 58 tramline is a vital transport connection for my community. It links to the hospitals, a number of schools, universities, the CBD and popular tourist attractions such as Melbourne Zoo and the Queen Victoria Market. This is a very busy tramline. The Melville Road and Bell Street intersection is the end of this tramline. It should include a Myki machine, and I ask for an assurance that it will.
