Re: Flinders Street flyover

An out of towner's question ... why is the flyover to be removed?

I presume

King St is to remain just as busy. Surely separating the cross

tram traffic

is a distinct advantage, particularly since the Docklands line

could add

even more trams to Flinders St. Will the flyover be replaced by

yet another

set of traffic signals to hold the trams up?

The traffic builds up on King St and Flinders St (on the bridge)
anyway at the moment. Tram traffic will take a little longer, but
hopefully they will make it with tram priority lights, etc. There
won't be any more trams on Flinders St, just an extension of 48
around the docklands loop and LaTrobe St to Vic Parade/Brunswick St.

Ground level road/tram will make the aquarium (on King St) more
accessible. There is also a carpark and car-pound near there which
is to be redeveloped.

Oh - and while I am on line - no postings for a long time re Box

Hill. Has

more track been laid? Construction details of the grassed section

would be

welcome.

There is new track to be laid this weekend (postponed from 2 weeks
ago), a longer section from the end of the first bit to somewhere
near the bottom of the hill towards Box Hill (can't remember which
cross street exactly).
