CYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN PATH — MIDLAND
193. Hon SAMANTHA ROWE to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the PerthQQQ ### QQQMidland cycle and pedestrian path construction from East
Street crossing to Morrison Road, Midland.
(1) Why was the
project completely carried out by Main Roads WA without any consultation with
the Department of Environment Regulation in relation to the removal of 26
mature native trees, when residents were advised that vegetation clearing would
be kept to a minimum?
(2) What consultation was undertaken
and what was the time frame for that consultation?
(3) What feedback
was received from the consultation process and was that feedback incorporated
into the project?
(4) Will Main
Roads WA remove all billboard advertising signage from the East Street crossing
to Morrison Road along Great Eastern Highway, which will be an obstruction
blind spot in the line of sight for cyclists, pedestrians and motorists; and,
if not, why not?
