advises:
(a) The intersection operates with circular lanterns for pedestrians.
(b) Nil
(c) Replacing circular lanterns with Walk Don't Walk Lanterns could cost from $20 000 to $150 000 depending on the existing infrastructure.
(d) As the Member would be aware, Beaufort Street and Grand Promenade are local roads under the care and control of the City of Bayswater. While Main Roads is responsible for the maintenance of traffic signals on local roads once installed, it is up to the relevant Council to initially investigate the need for any modifications and would be required to fund the majority of any improvements at this location.
