Mr O’Brien described his frustration with the traffic lights still not being installed, given it was originally announced in the 2017/18 Victorian Budget. Mr Cameron recently revealed that the latest reason for why the Bank St traffic lights completion date has been pushed back to sometime in 2027 is because of local flora and fauna. “I can’t see how placing traffic lights on poles that already exist would impact the ecosystem in a neighbouring reserve. The Bank St intersection is listed on the Transport Victoria website as being expected to be fully operational by early 2027. The department said work is continuing to switch on interlinked traffic signals on the Princes Highway at the Bank St intersection.
