Alchester Village, Boronia, road safety

Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (19:03): (612) Keeping our roads safe is a huge priority of mine, and one of the safety upgrades requested by locals was to improve safety at the Alchester Village intersection. That is why I am excited we are going to signalise the intersection to deliver safer outcomes for locals. The action I am seeking is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety to join me at the intersection once works have kicked off. The new intersection will deliver the removal of the roundabout and the installation of traffic signals, new lanes and dedicated turning lanes, new and safe pedestrian crossings, a resurfaced intersection and a redesigned bus stop on Albert Avenue. The installation of signals, additional lanes and new pedestrian crossings at this busy intersection will improve the flow of traffic and make it safer for pedestrians to access the Alchester Village shopping precinct. I am grateful for our community’s patience on this one, and like all of you, I am looking forward to seeing this delivered.
