MEDIA: Westside News, 1 February 2011, 'Flooding won't stop tunnel link'

'SUGGESTIONS the Northern Link tunnel should be postponed because of the floods have been dismissed.

Bardon’s Lord Mayoral candidate Ray Smith called for work on the Northern Link tunnel to be stopped indefinitely while the city undertakes flood repairs.

“It is completely infeasible for the Lord Mayor to push ahead with another expensive toll tunnel at this time,” Mr Smith said.'

(Labor Lord Mayor candidate for BCC elections in 2012, Ray Smith, has been very supportive of our campaign to Save ANZAC Park. He also attended both our picnic in the park and our tentative victory drinks last year. Thanks Ray.)

Image: Anzac Park Toowong actual site of refused proposal for construction workers' car park. All trees in this area are of cultural heritage significance - community tree planting in the park began back in 1916 and other trees in the park were planted as a memorial to the fallen. The trees in the proposed area were all tagged back in December 2010, which usually means they will be cut down. Shame on BCC if you reconsider the ANZAC Park site. Photo taken yesterday.
