Letters / Canberra's roadways standing still


CANBERRA returnee
MICHAEL FINCK, of Chapman, is happy to be home after 35 years away, but he’s far from impressed with the roads…
I MOVED back to Canberra two years ago and am happy to be back after 35 years away. However, while the nation’s capital has moved ahead significantly, its roadways haven’t.
I travel on the Tuggeranong Parkway/Caswell Drive/Gungahlin Drive (that’s a mouthful in itself) daily. And what a disgrace – a major roadway with ridiculous speed limits and poor-quality roadway. 
In my opinion, it should be modelled on Sydney’s newer freeways such as the M7 with electronic speed limits that can be adjusted for peak-hour traffic (say 90/100km/h) then change to 110km/h at other times.  ....

Woden tram looms as an 'expensive millstone'


“There is a danger Light Rail Stage 2 will become an expensive millstone round ratepayers’ necks,” says letter writer DAVID DENHAM, of Griffith.
JACK Kershaw proposed an alternative route for the tram from Civic to Woden (CN January 28). A more fundamental question is whether the tram will be a good investment?
There is a danger Light Rail Stage 2 will become an expensive millstone round ratepayers’ necks. The ACT government has now invited bids for a “design and technical consortia to provide consultancy services required to develop The Light Rail Stage 2 – City to Woden project”. 
It is not clear how these services can be provided when the route has not been finalised. ....

Suddenly, it's 1970 again… but without the beer

“Whatever the future holds, our wondrous capital city, rich with character, learning and politesse, is undoubtedly the place to be,” writes “The Gadfly” columnist 
ROBERT MACKLIN.
​ON New Year’s Day, after a splendid dinner with the extended family, we headed home along Adelaide Avenue. Suddenly, we were propelled back 50 years in time – there were so few cars on that beautiful smooth road that it was 1970 once again.

That was when Canberra’s “rush hour” was 10 minutes around 8.30am and 20 from 4.53pm to 5.13pm. And the most dangerous time, we joked, was mid-morning when ladies of a certain age went shopping in their Morris Majors. ....

On the long, winding track to conciliation


Robert Macklin.
First up will no doubt be the achievement of Pat Turner, the wonderful Gudanji-Arrernte woman who demanded the federal government seal off the outback Aboriginal communities from all potential COVID-19 carriers, thus preventing the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of our First Nations people. 
Born in Alice Springs in 1952, Pat’s father died in a work accident when she was 11, but her mother – and great uncle Charles Perkins – saw that she received a good education in Adelaide. 
She joined the APS and trained as a welfare officer; came to Canberra in 1978 where she rose through the ranks to become a deputy secretary of PM&C then CEO of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission.  ....
