Hansard - Traffic Lights for Stud Road at Timbertop Drive, Rowville

PARLIAMENT OF VICTORIA – LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY
7 August 2007

Stud Road-Timbertop Drive, Rowville: traffic lights

Mr WAKELING – I wish to raise a matter of great concern with the Minister for Roads and Ports and call upon the Minister to improve the accessibility and safety provisions for members of the Eastern Districts Polish Association of Melbourne's facility located on Stud Road in Rowville. Currently members who access the facilities by public transport feel very unsafe in accessing this regional complex. Firstly, members arriving from Dandenong are forced to cross busy Stud Road. Secondly, residents arriving from Knox are forced to walk on the Stud Road shoulder to access the facility.

Given the volume and speed reached by vehicles along Stud Road, members of the Polish association have called for the installation of traffic lights at the corner of Stud Road and Timbertop Drive as well of the establishment of a footpath from the bus stop on the east side of Stud Road to the Polish club facility.
