Westconnex brochure exaggerates

posted Saturday 5 October 2013
There are some fatuous claims in a brochure which was circulated in the inner western suburbs last week. The brochure, dated September, promotes the Westconnex motorway project which is planned to link the M4 with the M5 east. The claims are repeated on the Westconnex website.

Claimed key benefits of the project include nine new light rail stations in the inner west. However, construction of the light rail is well advanced, having begun before Westconnex was announced.

While the light rail claim is bad enough, the same brochure has a paragraph alleging that Sydneysiders want Westconnex. APTNSW followers would be aware that many Sydneysiders do not want radial motorways in the inner suburbs.
