Highett Level Crossings Delay: Safety vs Cost Savings

State government delays removal of dangerous level crossings in Highett, Melbourne, by three years, sparking resident frustration and safety concerns. The decision to defer work is seen as prioritizing cost savings over resident safety and quality of life. The Bayside City Council expresses disappointment, noting the delay prolongs traffic congestion and safety risks without community consultation. Some local businesses see a silver lining in the delayed construction start, while another level crossing removal in Mentone has also been delayed, but the community has been pushing for its cancellation due to traffic flow issues.
