Thanks very much Angus. Valuable feedback – I’ll take that on board for future writing.

The submission could really be one sentence: “we support it”. The rest is useful background context I’ve come across that would assist all parties, the media, and the public to understand the project area better.

I think it’s important to get this context in writing, searchable, and indexable.

Thanks for your comment!

> This is due to a number of factors with a key one being the low resident population and a large daily influx from elsewhere.

Yes – that is a reasonable critique. The City’s importance is under-represented by its population.

> A better measure could be based on the number of people actually in the council area by time of day.

I’m open to such comparisons – please let me know if you have any suggested data sources (I pulled population from Wikipedia for every council, and international cities).

But yeah I’m impressed with how exhaustive with this.

Glad to hear it’s useful!

Thank you for holding TfNSW to account on this important issue.

Was researching into the history of speed limits on roads like the road I live on (Elizabeth St, Ashfield) recently. Turns out we had 30km/hr limits on any non main arterial, and then again on any two lane road with no parked car buffer, and then again even on most if not all suburban streets even with a parked car buffer. This was before a twisted “won” argument over higher speeds for marginal gains in productivity, which was drenched with capitalist rhetoric.

Turns out an appeal to tradition could be helpful for some types.

Thanks so much!
