CHILDREN’S CROSSWALK SERVICE — GREAT EASTERN HIGHWAY AND kIDMAN AVENUE, SOUTH GUILDFORD
I refer to the imminent cessation of children’s crosswalk services at Great Eastern Highway and Kidman Avenue in South Guildford. (1) Will the minister investigate the cost and feasibility of constructing a footpath on the eastern side of the Great Eastern Highway bridge over the Helena River? (2) Will the minister advise the house of the outcome? (3) If not, why not? (4) Will the minister commit to retaining the children’s crosswalk infrastructure at this intersection? (5) If not, why not? Hon SIMON O’BRIEN

AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(5) The member has asked a number of questions. I thought at first he was going to ask about the future of any crosswalk service. Hon Ken Travers : You can answer that as well. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : Has the member written to me about this issue? Hon Ken Travers : About this one? Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : Yes. Hon Ken Travers : I don’t think I’ve signed off on it. I’m pretty sure that you’d be aware of it. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : The short answer to the member’s question is that I am always amenable to requests from members to examine the sorts of prospects that the member has raised—in this case, the consideration of some other infrastructure to offset the consequences of another change. If the member would like to put the question on notice, I will give him a detailed response. If he would like to correspond with me, I would be more than happy to look at the site with the member and some officers to see what we can do to fix the problem. Some broader issues on this matter have been raised with me by a number of members of the public. I am pretty sure that it is the same matter, because it is the same area in South Guildford. I think it is a coordinated and organised campaign, and there is nothing wrong with that; it is just that I note that, although I am getting letters from different people, the letters are very similar and they are coming from the same email address. It is clearly a matter of some local concern. Hon Ken Travers : If you knew the area, you would understand why they’re concerned. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : With that in mind, I have referred those requests for assistance to the relevant agency for response. However, now that the member has raised the matter—I will respond—I am more than happy to up the ante and look at the site with the member, if he likes.

Some broader issues on this matter have been raised with me by a number of members of the public. I am pretty sure that it is the same matter, because it is the same area in South Guildford.
