O-Bahn

164 Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (23 September 2015). Will any measures be put in place to stop 'rat-running' through the suburb of Hackney during the construction phases of the O-Bahn City Access Project?

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

Right turns into and out of Hackney Road will be restricted throughout construction, with the exception of right turns from Hackney Road (southbound) into Plane Tree Drive and right turn from Hackney Road (northbound) into Richmond Street.

Right turns from Richmond Street into Hackney Road and right turns from Hackney Road (northbound) into Wyandra Lane, will be maintained until the project requires they be restricted.

Following a resolution from the City of Norwood, Payneham & St Peters, the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure was directed by council to erect solid barriers preventing left turn movements from Hackney Road into Athelney Avenue, Botanic Street and Westbury Street. The barriers were installed on 22 March 2016.
