Wanneroo Rd and Villanova St intersection improvement plans altered

Laura PondWanneroo Times

At the February 7 meeting, councillors unanimously supported the City’s recommendation to remove installation of a splitter island from its upgrade design at the Wanneroo Road and Villanova Street intersection.

It will proceed with the extension of the median island on Villanova.

The City’s report found the splitter would not significantly improve traffic flow or safety.

It also noted that the State Government’s commitment to build an overpass at the Ocean Reef and Wanneroo road intersection could require work at the Villanova site.

Cr Frank Cvitan said he supported the City doing “minimal works” to improve the intersection because he believed it would be impacted by the overpass construction.

The recommendation passed unanimously and the amended design will be made available for public comment.
