Labor road plan By NATALIE GALLENTI THE State Opposition has vowed to transform public transport, remove some of the worst traffic bottlenecks and boost economic growth across Victoria in its latest transport plan unveiled last week. Project 10,000 is the Labor Party’s alternative to the $8 billion East West tunnel and promises to: Remove 50 of the most congested and dangerous level crossings, including Furlong Rd and Main Rd in St Albans, Relieve pressure on the Werribee, Sunbury and Williamstown lines, And, deliver 10,000 new construction jobs. Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews said his party’s transport policy focused on the issues of safety, congestion and improving public transport. “We know that congestion is a significant issue - we know as our state grows, as our economy grows, we need to do more and more to get people to where they need to be,” Mr Andrews told Star. He said removing the 50 worst level crossings was a priority particularly in Melbourne’s West. “Safety is going to be our number one priority. Some of these (level crossings), particularly in the West, have been the subject of really

tragic incidents and we will waste no time in allocating the money and removing these level crossings. “I can put this right and will with the support of voters across the West and Victoria.” Melton MP Don Nardella said Project 10,000 is about providing funding in Melbourne’s outer suburbs. Mr Nardella said with the strong growth occurring across the City of Melton, traffic issues needed to be taken seriously and solved immediately. Keilor MP Natalie Hutchins was on the sub-committee of Shadow Ministers that supported Mr Andrews with the policy development and said the package would deliver real outcomes for residents in the Western Suburbs. “This transport investment plan will deliver over 10,000 new jobs, there are many construction workers and tradespeople in the West that will benefit from the employment opportunities that this plan will deliver,” Ms Hutchins said. Koroit MP Marlene Kairouz said the policy offered voters a very clear choice when they go to vote at the 2014 State election in just over 12 months. “Over the past decade there have been almost 200 level crossings crashes, sadly this has resulted in many deaths, including a number in our community,” Ms Kairouz said.
