Mrs BRAHAM - 2005-08-18
In April, your department informed me they were doing a traffic delay study at the corner of Larapinta and Lovegrove Drives in Alice Springs, which is a particularly difficult intersection, as you are aware. Could you advise me what the result of that study was? Will you be introducing traffic measures to overcome the difficulties at that corner?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Braitling for her question. The intersection of Lovegrove and Larapinta Drives has been the subject of a number of questions the member for Braitling has asked me. I can advise the member that I have not received the results of that survey. However, I will certainly chase it up and be in contact with the member, because I know it is an important issue.
It is a difficult issue. There was works proposed some 15 years ago looking into whether to have a dual carriageway there, whether money could be invested in a roundabout, or what measures might be taken to reduce the inconvenience of people. In the morning peak hours, having to turn out from Lovegrove onto Larapinta is something we have to look at. I will certainly give it a priority.
