North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:52): (1469) My constituency matter is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Elgar Road in Box Hill is one of the key arterial roads linking the Box Hill township to Doncaster and the Eastern Freeway. At peak hour, particularly during school pick-up times, the Eastern Freeway turn-in to Elgar Road is very congested and backs up significantly. This means that locals on streets leading off Elgar Road also struggle to turn into and out of their streets. The most significant of these is the corner of Elgar Road and Anthony Crescent in Box Hill. Residents have been seeking assistance with this. I went out to meet with residents last week and to see it for myself. Minister, will you please work with your department to see if we can get a box intersection painted on the roads outside Anthony Crescent on Elgar Road?
