Monash Drive plan faces criticism from readers
In a letter to the editor, Alastair Morrison argues that Public Service Board calls a management-initiated retirement for Canberra’s traffic. He contends Monash Drive from Amul Street to Campbell would be costly, ineffective, and would scar the Mount Aumale Ridge, offering little relief to Limestone and Northbourne avenues. He urges prioritizing Mayura Road improvements and a revised plan linking Fyshwick and Jerrabomberra Avenue to reduce Civic traffic and long-term disruption.
