Labor's Transport Oriented Development proposal assumes that we actually built excellent rail transport already, and we just need to build homes near it. Unfortunately history shows us a lot of it got ripped up and neglected over an 80 year period.

Everyone knew that #WestCONnex wouldn't work. Including the powerful voices who ensured that it was built. That's why we need a Royal Commission into how such corruption occurred.

@MayorDarcy now cries crocodile tears over #WestCONnex when he and his party supported it all along or at best half-heartedly made minor critiques when politically advantageous.
The Inner West's @MayorDarcy says the disastrous opening of the Rozelle interchange is exactly what was predicted for years...

Given this hugely expensive road infrastructure was supposed to support loads more people squished into Sydney it appears the #YIMBY Big Sydney program has a flat tyre.

Yet another illustration that multiplying freeways, tunnels, etc. is no solution! What do they say about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? smh.com.au/national/nsw/ten-…

@MargotSaville Proper PT for Rozelle/Balmain would have been a hybrid light rail - metro for Victoria Rd to Parramatta via Ryde, as I proposed to @McKewMax in 2008. @johaylen The urban rail "planning" was completely stuffed up by @GladysB and her pet driverless metros @Mattonews

So much for @GladysB 30 min commute for Sydneysiders, its always been about developer n big business profit - @ChrisMinnsMP continuing the BS

Rozelle interchange debacle continues daily now. City West Link banked back all the way to Wattle Street, Haberfield. You've just spent $20 bill moving the traffic jam 10 kilometers to the East. There is no pleasure in saying "We told you so". #NoWestCONnex

Maybe it’s just that cars are a lousy transport tool in cities? Rozelle Interchange was meant to ease congestion on Sydney roads. So what went wrong? abc.net.au/news/2023-12-01/r… via @ABCaustralia

For the first time this week, it's been a good run on the trouble-plagued Rozelle Interchange, but only because drivers stayed away. And now, a dire warning from road experts, the traffic choke points could be permanent. 7NEWS.com.au #RozelleInterchange #7NEWS

The only party opposing Westconnex were @nsw_greens - labor and Lnp supported this toll road garbage - no point @MayorDarcy jumping up & down now ….

shocked, shocked that trying to improve Sydney’s inner-urban transportation by building a new motorway causes gridlock at its interfaces to surface roads. Surely this has never happened before, no one could have anticipated it*

Poorly planned urban sprawl. Much of this suburb and its surrounds are on flood-prone land, in the Hawkesbury Valley. Traffic is already a nightmare. Schools and shops are distant and overcrowded. abc.net.au/news/2023-02-20/w…

The #WestCONnex road project has been such a roaring success that N.S.W. taxpayers are now subsidising the privately owned toll operator Transurban, by giving free or half-price registration in compensation to victims of excessive toll costs.
