Hey guys,
From memory the whole section between Park st and
Flemington rd was done late 90's,early 00's along with the reservation in
Mt.Alexander rd in Essendon which saw a redesign of the roadway and
parking at Nth Essendon shopping strip from angle parking next to the tram
line to the current set up and the reservation in Matthews ave on the
59,due to the B Class going to Essendon Depot.The reserved sections on the
57 & 82 were also done a bit later in the 00's.
