Default Just what Melbourne needs... another toll road

http://www.theage.com.au/national/la...5.html?page=-1

'A NEW tollway proposal in Sir Rod Eddington's transport plan for Melbourne has split the Victorian Labor Party's transport policy committee.

The committee's secretary has resigned in disgust at a decision to endorse all 20 recommendations in Sir Rod's report to the State Government, including a new multibillion-dollar road tunnel linking the city's east and west.'

I'm not really sure whether the tunnel is a good idea, or not. But I do know that yet another toll road is not what Melbourne needs. Look at Eastlink - I don't know the exact traffic projections, but surely the 5 cars that use it is less than what they were hoping for?

Given the division in the committee, it might be a good time to voice your opinion to your local MP.
