We the undersigned Citizens of Victoria draw to the attention of the House, the urgent need to amend L.M.A plans for the Peninsula Link Baxter Interchange to ensure the Peninsula Link passes UNDER Baxter-Tooradin Rd and Frankston Flinders Rd, in lieu of planned overpass; thereby minimising noise, greatly reducing physical impact to neighbouring residents/taxpayers and maintaining the aesthetic, environmental, aural and visual amenity of the Baxter / Frankston Sth. / Mt. Eliza Communities; the Peninsula Gateway.
We, the undersigned concerned Citizens of Victoria therefore request the Legislative Assembly of Victoria to immediately initiate all things necessary to ensure the LMA Peninsula Link plans are amended for construction to incorporate a Baxter Interchange UNDERPASS for Peninsula Link roadway, beneath Baxter-Tooradin Rd and Frankston-Flinders Rd, in lieu of the existing plan for a Fly-Overpass.
The Brumby Regime has Fast Tracked (like many other undesirable projects) the Frankston By-Pass/Peninsula Link in the name of Economic Stimulus without proper public consultation.
Please sign this petition in hopes that we can engage the Regime in meaningful dialogue on this project. Most of us are in favor of the By-Pass but it should not be crammed down our throats.

Please forward this e-petition to as many people as you can and we can make a difference. And add your personal commments to those you pass it on to. Urgent action is necessary as this e-petition expires 14 Sept 2009.
