The Canberra Times is keeping us up to date with the little loved “Immigration Bridge” proposal.
At a parliamentary inquiry into the proposal the Walter Burley Griffin Society, National Trust of Australia ACT branch and Canberra Yacht Club have all come out against the proposal.
All is not lost though with the most powerful lobby in Canberra politics, Pedal Power, offering their support as long as the bridge is open to bicycles. (What would they say to a canal network intersecting their bike paths?)
With a planned completion date of 2013 there’s not much time to get this turkey into the air if it’s going to fly.
