More Skyrail please!

Be great for LXRA @levelcrossings to REALLY consider the benefits of SkyRail for Surrey Hills & Mont Albert rather than retreat to the supposed ‘security’ of a dividing trench being the ‘normal’ way of doing things .

Work hasn’t started so it’s not too late to admit you have it wrong!

A trench will only entrench the notion that walking & cycling come as an add-on rather than being a reason to do SkyRail so the community can reap all the benefits.

This article says it all.

NEL Bidders – Please take note.

Click to download the report

The NEL CTDG – Walking & Cycling produced a comprehensive report on many walking and cycling needs identified, but not included in the Reference Design.

The NEL Community & Stakeholder Relations personnel who coordinated the CTDG advised that such a report was a way for Reference Design deficiencies to be made known to the bidders, and that the competitive process would inevitably lead to some or all of the recommendations being adopted. CTDG members would have far preferred the Reference Design to have included most of these recommendations.

Members of the Group compiled a comprehensive report totally independently, and NEL facilitated its final layout and preparation.
