Looking East from Elgar Road.

There is certainly not enough room for a tram the way it is now. Thought the extended Eastern Freeway has reduced the traffic count.

I assume the tramway extension is going to be another concrete desert a la East Burwood extension.

Jeez, considering public transport is supposed to be a plus for the urban environment, they make it ugly in the new extensions and way too noisy in the city with that damn concrete, don't they!

Hardly a good advertisement for public transport.

But it's great to see the extension finally going ahead. They were talking about it 27 years ago when I first got to Oz. They should have done it when they opened Box Hill Central.

Is there any move to extend the East Burwood tram to Knox City? I think that would be wonderfully viable as Knox City is a huge passenger generator.
