BAYSIDE: Highett crossing call
Sandringham MLA Brad Rowswell (Ipictured) has told State Parliament: “For quite literally years I have been working with our local community and calling for the Government to remove the level crossings at Wickham Rd and Highett Rd in the suburb of Highett in my constituency.
“These level crossings are a hazard to my community and cause excess congestion on our roads,” Mr Rowswell said.
“Our residents are stuck at these level crossings every single day and are deeply concerned about the Graham Rd development, the Gas and Fuel development, the development of the Suburban Rail Loop just down the road and the impact that will have on congestion in the area.
“Further, constituents are also concerned about the possibility of sky rail being developed instead of a rail-under-road option and not being consulted by this government.
“I ask: when will this Government actually consult with my community and simply get on with getting this project done?” Mr Rowswell asked.
