Porter Street–Fitzsimons Lane, Templestowe

Mr GUY: It is another parliamentary sitting week and another time I am going to raise the Porter Street roundabout in Templestowe. It is dangerous, it is congested, it is hard to navigate and it is about time it is replaced with a full signalised intersection. The RACV has repeatedly stated that the replacement of this roundabout is high on their list of priorities for Melbourne’s roads, noting the congestion the intersection causes in the area and leads to on Fitzsimons Lane. It is now so bad that traffic banks up almost 2 kilometres toward Doncaster on the eastern side, sometimes up to the Newmans Road shops, and on the west side through to the Templestowe shops.
