Connecting the Northern Beaches – Metro or Motorway
A public presentation to the two P&C committees of schools impacted by the Western Harbour Tunnel & the Northern Beaches Link.

Read More‘Mathew Hounsell talks about the $41 billion cost of the current set of roads, and the induced demand effect – build more roads and more cars will come.

Also touches on how the filtration issue is used to divide and conquer groups who object to motorways.’
