Marrickville Transport Action Group Inc.

Marrickville residents are responding to renewed announcements of a road tunnel through the Marrickville LGA with demands to see the details before the local government elections in mid-september. Marrickville's Transport Action Group (MTAG) has challenged the NSW State Government to reveal the details immediately, so that the people of Marrickville can choose local representatives who support sustainable transport initiatives.

Marrickville Transport Action Group has called for the Roads Minister, Eric Roozendaal to make a full disclosure of the proposed motorway tunnels revealed by an FOI request by the Sydney Morning Herald in July. MTAG has used the map produced by the SMH to identify an alignment for the tunnels, and produce a more detailed view of these proposals.

Iron Cove Bridge is a site of congestion that the RTA would like to get off its books.
They have attempted to slip a network speed increase proposal under the public nose by characterising it as a bus proposal.
In order to achieve this they intend to remove the median strip in Victoria road around Rozelle and put an extra bridge on either the east or west side of the bridge. There are no plans to improve the cycling or pedestrian facilities
There ARE plans to remove bus stops making much of the "24 hour" bus traffic largely THROUGH traffic.
