Rail overpass at Koolewong?

 

The prospect of a rail overpass or underpass at Koolewong has been raised in a progress association meeting with the Member for Peats, Ms Marie Andrews.

In response to "concerns regarding Koolewong level crossing", Ms Andrews told the June meeting of the Koolewong and Point Clare-Tascott Progress Association that it was State Government policy to do away with level crossings.

However, she said that competing budget priorities meant that it awaited funding availability.

Ms Andrews detailed plans for Brisbane Water Drive, a major concern of the association.

Attendees raised with her the inadequacy of current provision for pedestrians in various sections of the road.

Ms Andrews said that paving provision was a local government responsibility but that she would follow up the matter, and especially aspects of road construction that appear to have led to poor visibility and other hazards.
