These roads, together with London Street further north, form State Route 61, which links Crawley with West Perth and Yokine. ==History== The road is named after James Thomas, the Director of Public Works 1876 to 1884. A railway station, to be located at the corner of Thomas Street and Subiaco Road, was proposed in 1892. There were mixed responses from the public, but the construction costs would have been too expansive due to the steep grade. An alternative site was selected nearby, at Kimberley Street.〔 West Leederville railway station opened there on 12 July 1897. In 1939, there were calls for the road to be rebuilt and upgraded to dual carriageway standard in the vicinity of Kings Park. In 1940, a plan for construction of the second carriageway was announced by the King's Park Board, the Perth City Council and the Subiaco Municipal Council. The councils would be jointly responsible for the building of the road, with the King's Park Board responsible for the clearing of vegetation.〔 The resumption of a strip of land along the edge of the park needed for the works was approved by an Act of Parliament.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Street, Perth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
