C ti M lb ’ dCongestion on Melbourne’s roads
1 in 5 workers living in Werribee, commute to the CBD by car, causing traffic congestion on the West Gate Bridge which spills onto Kingsway and the Burnley Tunnel inbound. (Millar & Mann, 2008)
C ti M lb ’ dCongestion on Melbourne’s roads
In addition to the increase in population, the State government's Infrastructure Planning Council made some encouraging statements about sustainability demanding that the “true social, environmental and economic costs of transport be recognised”.and economic costs of transport be recognised .
C ti M lb ’ dCongestion on Melbourne’s roads
The M2030 plan has an abundance of road projects on the calendar to expand our roads making them wider, longer with accessible linkages.” (Gleeson et al 2003:211)
C ti S t i bl T tCreating Sustainable Transport
According to Professor Martin Mogridge of University College London:
“We cannot reduce congestion by building more roads since immediately we get more traffic to fill them up to the same speed as before. The only way to reduce congestion is to introduce better PT facilities which reduce the number of people whofacilities which reduce the number of people who travel by car on the roads”.
M R d P j tMore Road Projects
the Frankston bypass, a 25 kilo‐metre route linking Carrum Downs to Mount Martha,
the link east to west 18 kilo‐metre road tunnel and the 17 kilometre rail tunnel project said to cost over $18 billion (Millar et al, 2008)
C ti S t i bl T tCreating Sustainable Transport
The Regional Rail Link” project running from Southern Cross Station to Werribee and new outer ring road from Werribee to Hume Highway is a 50 Kilometre track costing $4 billion.
the “single largest Australian government investment in urban rail ever!” (Lucas, 2009)
