In two articles published by Brisbane Times, Ronan Lee, the Member for Indooroopilly and parliamentary secretary for Main Roads highlights the problem of putting another arterial road onto the stressed Western Freeway and suggests that City Cat and Rail access are other options to reducing traffic.
MP Slams Western Link Plan
Send CityCats to Western Suburbs: MP

The current feasibility study for the Moggill Pocket Sub-Arterial Corridor (aka Kenmore Bypass) is not worth spending ANY more public funds investigating. It is a 30 year old plan for a solution that has failed in the past and will fail for the future. There are other alternatives to alleviate the problem that exists only at limited times. This plan will waste hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and likely push the rat running problem on to other adjacent suburbs such as Fig Tree Pocket and Indooroopilly.

Building this road is bad for taxpayers, bad for Brisbane and bad for Kenmore.

Mr Lee said consideration of the current options was proof the Western Brisbane Transport Network Investigation (WBTNI) had failed.

“I think the Western Brisbane Transport Network Investigation has presented us a series of road proposals for western Brisbane, not a series of transport proposals,” Mr Lee said.

“And I think if you limit yourself to road proposals your options are incredibly limited.”
