Ok, fair shakes to jess Pugh's efforts in a short time - she has improved bus frequency, got a roundabout near middle park, got the summer road on the way and got a carpark to stop the lasse Faire lack of BCC/QR/TRANSLINK at the Darra transport hub, but the real problem is the Muppets in government (local and state) who do the projects with such limited planning horizons. We did a big infrastructure spend more than 10 years ago in Brisbane BUT not ambitious enough - just a band-aid for 5 years.
I look at the design standards applied and, not being an engineer, I ask "does constraining roads to a single lane at turns achieve anything but blocking turning traffic from progressing?"
We truly are a NANNY STATE - even our roads aren't allowed to WELL get us effectively to where we want to go and isn't that the only function of transport?
