Road users in Melbourne’s growing inner west are being asked to have their say on future planning options for two key routes in the area.
Member for Williamstown Melissa Horne today announced an online survey will get underway next week, seeking community feedback from those who regularly travel along Blackshaws Road in South Kingsville and Kororoit Creek Road in Williamstown.
The online survey will give motorists, pedestrians and cyclists an opportunity to provide their view on a range of topics including traffic flow, speed limits, pedestrian crossings and lighting.
Feedback will be reviewed to help understand how the community use these roads across multiple modes of transport to inform future planning and transport initiatives in the area.
The survey focuses on Blackshaws Road between Millers Road and Melbourne Road and Kororoit Creek Road between Maddox Road and Melbourne Road.
On average, more than 35,000 vehicles travel across both stretches of road per day.
The survey opens on Monday, 24 April and closes at midnight on Sunday, 21 May.
