Question
I refer to the Swan River Crossings project, and I ask:

an overpass for a future grade separated Principal Shared Path (PSP) crossing over Beach Street been

project:
(i) if no to (a), why not;

are the physical constraints on a PSP following the North/West side of Beach

PSP is intended to go on the south/east side of Beach Street:
(i) what
will be the impact on alfresco dining at The Sunshine Harvester Works;
(ii) where
else on the PSP network do driveways cross PSPs;
(iii) where the PSP crosses driveways, who will be required to give way; and

(a)-(c) I am advised that you were recently briefed on this project by the Project Director and the Minister for Transport’s office.
I understand your questions regarding the location of Principal Shared Paths were extensively answered during this briefing.
I am also advised that the Minister for Transport was disappointed to hear of your treatment of the Project Director during the briefing.
