From Ballarat Mayor Samantha McIntosh
"The City of Ballarat welcomes the consultation VicRoads have initiated on the redesign of the key Sturt Street intersections to achieve safer outcomes.
Sturt Street is a VicRoads highway and we welcome them engaging with the public about their specific design solution options.
From a City of Ballarat perspective, our focus on a design-led city approach to achieve best possible urban design outcomes, along with the safety benefits, is our preference.
We further welcome the advice VicRoads are forming a reference group in relation to cycle treatment for Sturt Street and and trust we will be engaged accordingly."
