WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY J.M. MAÇON OF ST. SAVIOUR

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 2nd JUNE 2009

Question

"What action, if any, has the Minister taken to address the need for a pedestrian crossing along Longueville Road at Miladi Parade?"

Answer

Previous Committees and Ministers with responsibility for pedestrian and road safety have supported the construction of an island refuge at Miladi Parade, Longueville Road. I, too, support this proposal. However, as my predecessor reported to the States last year (11th March 2008 and 2nd December 2008), the necessary purchase of land required to widen the road at this point was not successful so the scheme could not be progressed. Should the situation change and land become available, and Transport and Technical Services has sufficient funds, I will ensure a facility is provided.
