BRIMBANK: Sunshine crossing delays frustrating, admits Labor MP
Laverton MLA Sarah Connolly has admitted that “everythingt that could go wrong has gone wrong” at a troubled intersection at sunshine West and Ardeer.
“Three years ago the Allan Labor Government removed the dangerous and congested
level crossing at Fitzgerald Rd in Sunshine West and Ardeer, saving locals time on their commutes and making our road network safer,” Ms Connolly told State Parliament.
“But locals will know the struggle to complete the finishing touches and turn the lights on has, to put it bluntly, been like something out of the TV show Utopia.
“Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong, which has held up the lights coming on line to service the Ardeer community at the overpass.
“For folks in Sunshine and Ardeer who have raised this for me for way too many years now, I have listened.
“We have heard you. We know it has taken too long to turn the lights on.
“It has been frustrating, and I have spent way too many hours with the Level Crossing Removal Project team and Powercor to get this sorted.
“My question to the minister is this: when will the Ardeer community see the finishing touches at the Fitzgerald Rd level crossing removal finally be completed?
