With the passage of 24 months since a Labor government minister said the public would be provided with a discussion paper about the M4 East, no further official information has been forthcoming. Now, however, the RTA has brought out another proposal for an innercity motorway which puts in place the launching points for both the M4 East AND the F6/M6 motorways (see more detail of the Evans & Peck proposals being considered for the state government's 'Transport Blueprint').
The SMH has made its report on the future of Sydney's transport. Congratulations to the SMH for getting the ball rolling and hitting the ground before the current government! Read all about it.

Marrickville residents are responding to renewed announcements of a road tunnel through the Marrickville LGA with demands to see the details before the local government elections in mid-september. Marrickville's Transport Action Group (MTAG) has challenged the NSW State Government to reveal the details immediately, so that the people of Marrickville can choose local representatives who support sustainable transport initiatives.
Marrickville Transport Action Group has called for the Roads Minister, Eric Roozendaal to make a full disclosure of the proposed motorway tunnels revealed by an FOI request by the Sydney Morning Herald in July. MTAG has used the map produced by the SMH to identify an alignment for the tunnels, and produce a more detailed view of these proposals.
