JACK Kershaw proposed an alternative route for the tram from Civic to Woden (CN January 28). A more fundamental question is whether the tram will be a good investment?There is a danger Light Rail Stage 2 will become an expensive millstone round ratepayers’ necks. The ACT government has now invited bids for a “design and technical consortia to provide consultancy services required to develop The Light Rail Stage 2 City to Woden project”.It is not clear how these services can be provided when the route has not been finalised.All we know is that 19th century technology with permanent rail tracks and overhead wires will be the main transport mode.We also know that the Woden to city journey will take twice as long as the present Rapid bus service (30 minutes instead of 15), that the additional traffic lights planned for London Circuit will increase congestion in the city and that many cities are now planning to use electric buses instead of light rail.Using 2018 numbers, we know that daily, in each direction, only about 0.1 per cent of Canberra’s population travelled this route.We don’t know how light rail will cross Lake Burley Griffin, if an environmental impact document has been prepared, what the total cost will be, and what, if any, infill is planned to replace the green spaces along Adelaide Avenue.If we used electric buses, there would be no need for such expensive infrastructure associated with rails and wires, the costs could be accurately estimated, and we would have a more flexible transport system.There would also be more money for our under resourced hospital system and to plant the million trees promised by 2045.Support for Jack tram routeTHANK you, Jack Kershaw, for your opinion piece ( to look for a better tram route to Woden CN January 28).I hope that this alternative route across the lake is seriously considered.Page failing drainsWITH the Woden flood disaster being remembered as an event of half a century ago can it now be asked of the ACT government when work will be completed on correcting the Commonwealth government stormwater drainage planning stuff up?This year streets in Page are closed (and buses rerouted) for mid 1960s too small infrastructure to be replaced with bigger, flood proof stormwater drains.As COVID 19 restrictions were quickly coming into force across Australia early last year, Court also attracted considerable criticism for defiantly proclaiming that her church would continue with its services because are in agreement that this Convid 19 (sic) will not come near our dwelling or our church family.
