 David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:59): My question is for the minister for transport and planning. It was only a couple of months ago that I raised the issue of safety concerns along Linsell Boulevard in Cranbourne East in this chamber. Following this, temporary traffic lights were placed along the boulevard and this was very well received by locals. But the community had barely let out a sigh of relief before crying out in frustration – the day the Thompsons Road–Clyde Road roundabout reopened in reduced capacity, the lights were turned off; then shortly after, they were removed entirely. The Clyde Road works are still causing commuters to take detours around the traffic mess this project has caused, so the safety concerns along Linsell Boulevard are still very real. Therefore, my question to the minister is: will the minister ensure the temporary lights on Linsell Boulevard are returned and left on until the Clyde Road–Thompsons Road intersection works are complete?
