As at 17 March 2016:
(a) The Public Transport Authority (PTA) has undertaken a prioritisation assessment of the 31 level crossings on the passenger rail network in accordance with the PTA’s Level Crossing Policy and Main Roads Western Australia (WA) Railway Crossing Control in WA. Consideration has also been given to the impact of service changes associated with forthcoming projects such as the Forrestfield – Airport Link and future Thornlie line extension on existing crossings.
(b) The top 12 crossings identified for removal through closures or grade separations are as follows:
1. Moore St;
2. Caledonian Ave;
3. Welshpool Rd;
4. Hamilton St ;
5. William St;
6. Wharf St;
7. Oats St;
8. Mint St;
9. Jarrad St;
10. Salvado St;
11. Victoria St; and
12. Armadale Rd.
The above is not a definitive list and further work on conceptual designs, costings and consultation with stakeholders may result in changes to priority. There are no crossings on the passenger network currently committed for closure or grade separation.
