Making our communities safer

Council have recently proposed a change to the Mt Vic bus tunnel that will allow more buses to use it.

Whether you agree with the proposal or not, what I found concerning was the comment that “changes that could make the tunnel safer are cost-prohibitive”. How can this be, when council can easily find funds for other projects?

Surely public safety must be a higher priority than spending $11 million modifying manners st or building a $350k monument?
