I can only assume that the majority of the "Environmental" portion of this summit was spent addressing City of Melbourne's number one biggest source of emissions. Bigger than every other source combined even.
26 acres of multilane highways, carparks, car wash, car dealerships, petrol stations and drive-through takeaway in the works precinct. Is this the vision we have for our "Metro" network?
👏 Taking pride in Clyde Road!
🚉 We removed the level crossing at Clyde Road, Berwick in February 2022 by building a road underpass.
🌱 We also upgraded the station precinct and planted over 37,000 trees and shrubs.

How can we force them to update the imagery for Melbourne?
19m by car or 1h13m by PT is pretty rough especially as the 901 is very direct by Melb standards.
Even if you avoid the tolls it's less than half the time, 38m on same route as bus. Tolls are max of $5.57 + ~$3 fuel. Full fare ticket will cost $5.30 for the privilege. 2/6
ALT Ringwood to Dandenong car trip on google maps estimated 38 minutes without tolls
We've got this perfectly good freeway already built that is rarely congested even at peak times, why not use it for good?
Like all good advocacy this was inspired by my own circumstance because I had to make a similar trip myself.
I chose to save $5.30 and rode my bike. 6/6
