Bikes, rail, buses, the environment
Interesting conversation I had this afternoon at the launch of the
Woden Town Centre Master Plan. The launch was attended by many v/senior ACTPLA personal, including a leading light in the transport area. We started to discussed the busways and light rail issue in Canberra. Firstly it seems that the political decision not to send the busway across the O'Connor ridge (as recommended) and instead place it alongside Barry Drive, effectively kills light rail in Canberra. All thanks to Save- the-Ridge and their friends it seems. Also mentioned was that the ACTLightrail coalition had sent many letters to ACTPLA disputing the costing as proposed by KBR to build light rail across Canberra (up to $1.3 billion, with the route to Gungahlin town centre alone being $204 million). However, not one piece of verifiable bit of evidence was given to show that the ACTLightrail costing were accurate to convince ACTPLA that their figures were wrong. Not two weeks ago I asked senior representatives of ACTLightrail to place their contrary costing on their website. Finally, it seems that the bike lanes on Northbourne Avenue will present a challenge to the busway to Gungahlin. A solution could be found by placing the bike paths on the side roads. |
