O-Bahn

157 Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (23 September 2015). What changes have been made to the O-Bahn City Access project—announced on 25 February 2015—that allows residents of southern Hackney to enter and exit their suburb with ease?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development): I have been advised of the following:

Following the community consultation process after the project was announced on 25 February 2015, the following refinements to the design were made:

the provision of an additional u-turn/right-turn facility at Vailima Court

the provision of an additional u-turn facility on Dequetteville Terrace, opposite King William Street; and

modifications to the 'Bus Lane' and red 'Bus Only Lane' pavement markings to facilitate easier access to the proposed u-turn lanes.

Alternative routes utilising North Terrace and/or College Road are also available for residents in southern Hackney in addition to the u-turn facility on Dequetteville Terrace, south of North Terrace.
