Doesn't matter which party give the green light a lot of roads have been planned for decades.. under Labour Peninsula link is also only 2 lanes. first weekend it had traffic jams But the important thing is its built. a 4 lane proposal would never get approval.
my thing is so long as the bridges are built big enough for when they are increased.

sorry for digressing Trevor made me do it..

Remember the old UBD and Melways street directories ?
They always showed long established road reserves years ago. Usually market gardeners had alotment on them. Guess thats why $ydney doesn't have any real food anymore.

School closures began under the Cain/Kirner Labour Government.
Box Hill Girls Tech was one of the early ones.
