Brisbane Times mention of the Bypass

Thanks to the Brisbane Times for mentioning the Kenmore Bypass in its article about the state Greens campaign launch:

The Greens will replace the $1 billion Kenmore Bypass proposal with a light rail concept connecting to the main Ipswich line as part of a network for greater Brisbane.

Courier Mail article

There is a good article in the Courier Mail. We’re grateful for the coverage!

The State Government and Brisbane City Council are facing growing criticism of their handling of anti-congestion plans for the city … A rally yesterday, sparked by news of a government study to use part of the corridor for a Kenmore bypass, drew a large crowd to a local park.

Many thanks to all our supporters at Protest in the Park!

Before the day is over, and to welcome all of you who might have just signed up for email updates today, let me say a quick and simple thank you to everyone who came to the Protest in the Park today. The crowd was estimated to be around 1000 people, all engaged and eager to find out more. With these numbers and this passion, we will prevail! Many thanks go out to the organisers and speakers. Stay tuned for a more thorough report, including pictures, once we all recover a bit. Also, please be sure to see our post asking for volunteers and give what help you can, so we can keep up this great momentum you all have given us today. Thanks again!

Brisbane Times article

The Brisbane Times published an article on the “Kenmore Bypass” (the Moggill Pocket Sub Arterial Stage One) which should fire you up. As we describe on our action page, this Stage One is the thin edge of the wedge, after which the entire devastating arterial can be more easily built. This does not mention the better, faster, less expensive alternatives presented to the Minister by our group.

Remember the Protest in the Park — Sunday 18 May at noon!
