Questions without notice taken on notice
Roads—resurfacing
Ms Gallagher (in reply to a question by Mr Coe on Thursday, 8 December 2011): I have asked Roads ACT to conduct a detailed traffic investigation on Kerrigan Street near the intersection of Winder Place and Lhotsky Street. The investigation will be completed before the end of April 2012.
