Sneaky development

Ya gotta be careful in this day and age, developments will sneak up on you when you not watching... eating up that green space and invading that skyline.

My tribute to the westconnex program..

Have a read of this page for some great spin..

http://www.westconnex.com.au/library/di ... index.html

if they used the phrase 'world’s best design standards' any more i think I would barf - can anyone educate me on what this actually means, is there a world best design standard ? does that mean the tunnel will be as good as the ones in Norway ?
'WestConnex will remove traffic from local roads'
really ? how do they figure that ?

Anyway the image is actually from the other side of the park where there is a bunch of new apartment development going on.. i guess they are all gonna have cars and drive on local roads

Simple. Just erect concrete barricades at either end of the road. That's what they did to force people onto the Intercity or whatever its called. And you should see the mess they made of Epping Road to force people to use that tunnel.

And don't forget the mess they made with the Cross City Funnel.

But a major part of the problem is faulty design and poor planning. The M5 tunnel was obsolete before the first sod (Bob Carr?) was turned.

And charging to use the Funnel forces many people into the city, when they should be bypassing it. Charging motorists to go onto the city streets, rather than bypass them, will help alleviate congestion.

I love the simplicity, the subject and colours of this photo.
