What a load if sh1t.

"Senior Advisor suggests putting in toll roads"... to help ease traffic congestion.

In the last 3 to 4 years, the City of Perth has done the following:
* Approved more inner city living apartments.
* Forced the developers of the above apartments to build lots of carparks in the basements.
* Been happy to tax said bays to help raise revenue.

The net effect is that there are more car parking bays in the CBD area than ever before,
so as a natural progression they have started to choke the roads:
* St Georges tce used to be a clearway 2 lay affair in both directions. Now in parts it is choked to one lane each way.
* Going out of the city, Beaufort street near Curtin House used to be a 4 lane clearway... now 1 lane each direction.
* Coming into the city, William street used to be a 4 lane clearway... now 1 lane in each direction.
* Many other roads that used to be dual lane clearways both ways (4 lanes total) are now 1 lane each way. Aberdeen, Newcastle.
* Many "Turn left only" or "Turn right only" slip lanes have been removed. Perfect examples on Row Street and Bottom of horseshoe bridge.
* Reduced the useable lanes on the horseshoe bridge
* Reduced the number of lanes and clearway status of Wellington street.

The list goes on, where they create more bays, tax them, then choke the streets, and cry "we need toll ways".

ah... Welcome to Perth.

Thoughts ?
