[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

I heard council were told many times not to put the community centre on that corner. The bowling club is also unfortunate. They are being pushed to merge with Lockleys which is a terrible outcome, they should be able to rebuild somewhere close to the current location. With much of Kings Reserve bei...

We as an environmental, social and economic society don't 'need' people to drive, but there are those with mobility issues who do. This kind of car use should be actively catered for.
so you're saying that you want people to stop driving their cars?

I understand where you're coming from.

But what is the 'forward planning' for? Why are we actively providing an easy solution to a problem that is avoidable and does not need to exist?

[U/C] Re: [U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

It's Liberal Party thinking - disregard for urban planning. The ramp will encourage car travel to the CBD. It's creating demand that isn't even necessarily there. at least the plan is to do it when the tunnels are going in. if they don't do it everyone will complain that it should have been done wh...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

I don't get the comments that this seems over engineered. If anything it seems quite restrained in the impact on the existing intersection and Anzac highway considering the need for traffic coming from the tunnel to keep moving without suddenly hitting lights and creating a potential backup The sam...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

The main reason for the Motorway very much was for freight and improving community health and road safety by getting trucks off local roads. Just because commuter traffic too lazy to use public transport (however poor it is) will become the main use, doesn't mean the project should actively bend ov...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

Good Lord, that does not look pretty. It looks overengineered. That bridge to Anzac Highway the CBD doesn't need to be there because I thought the main purpose of the freeway was for freight and moving it along the corridor. This bridge will only further encourage the car commute to the city. the m...
