  • Final Submission – Western Distributor Tunnel Project EES Process by (Dr) Pat Love, Geoff Hjorth, Marlene Monahan, Jacob Holley, Jenny Harrison
    1 Final Submission – Western Distributor Tunnel Project EES Process By (Dr) Pat Love, Geoff Hjorth, Marlene Monahan, Jacob Holley, Jenny Harrison 1. Achieving the Project Objectives 1.1 Why are we doing this project? (slide 3) The EES identifies four objectives as targets that this project is designed to meet: (3) Improve transport performance in M1 Corridor Reduce reliance on West Gate Bridge Improve freight access to the Port of Melbourne Improve community amenity on local streets in inner west All of these are worthy goals. If transport is understood in its broadest sense – road, rail and active transport - then improving connectivity and providing transport options and building in network resilience is important for our long-term economic sustainability and liveability. However, this submission holds that this project of itself will not achieve all these aims. It is essentially a road project. It is transport in its narrowest definition. The addition of cycling infrastructure is window- dressing, and will not of itself ensure that more people of the M1 Corridor take up more active transport options, such as walking and cycling. The WDA presentation did not allude to any other city in the world taking these or similar steps to solve the future problems of amenity, transport connectivity and resilience. Melbourne is not the only city in the world with a traffic congestion problem. Is London proposing to build urban freeway through Shoreditch to the City? Is New York building an expressway through Manhattan? Not since Jane Jacobs defeated Robert Moses in protecting the Village. Where were references either in the EES or in the Business Case to the successful examples of cities other than Australia’s east coast capitals and US car-dependent mega-sprawl cities? The short answer is, there are none.
