Melton’s Boundary Road needs a bit of love according to Melton councillor Phillip Zada.
Cr Zada raised a notice of motion at the council meeting on Monday night calling on the council to write to Roads and Road Safety Minister Melissa Horne seeking an update on the timing of the installation of traffic lights at the intersection at Hopkins Road and Boundary Road
Boundary Road is a vital corridor in our municipality, particularly the section between Hopkins Road and the Mt Atkinson Road through to Downing Street.
The council meeting report said this section is experiencing significant increase in traffic volumes which is impacting the road and road users.
Cr Zada also requested council officers to provide a briefing to councillors on current management and maintenance of Boundary Road, particularly the section between Hopkins Road and the Mt
Atkinson Road through to Downing Street, and provide details of any planned or upcoming capital works for this section of Boundary Road.
All councillors supported the motion.
“It’s self explanatory,” Cr Zada said. “Boundary Road needs a bit of love.
“The temporary traffic lights… that it’s only a temporary measure, I think they have been there for quite a while, it’s interesting the case.
“Let’s see how we can fix the road up.”
