Northern Link Tunnel Forum - Part 1

On 7 August 2008 the West Brisbane Greens hosted the Northern Link Tunnel Forum. The Northern Link Tunnel is a proposal for a tunnel to take traffic (in particular trucks) from the Warrego highway, through the Kenmore Bypass and Centary Highway to link with the Inner City Bypass / Kelvin Grove Road. The tunnel will divide Toowong and the stacks are to be placed in the Brisbane Botanical Gardens and the Grammar sports fields. Speakers included Mark Beilby (Save the Inner West), Councillor Kim Flesser - Northgate (ALP) and the 2008 Greens mayoral candidate Jo Bragg.

Tristan Peach (No More Tunnels) discusses the other road projects that feed into Northern Link, the traffic modelling for the AirportLink and Hale Street and alternatives to more roads.

Well constructed argument Tristan.

Nice presentation TP. Well, if peak oil does make private vehicle transport nonviable, think about the awesome bike paths that will have been built! :)

its because thiess has done deals with anna bligh to be the contractor of major ventures(such as the airport link) making them massive profits from the governments piggy bank!
