Go East! Taking the Brisbane Metro from Coorparoo to Capalaba
Council has announced that it has partnered with the Redlands City Council and the State Government to fund the Eastern Metro Study which will investigate providing a Brisbane Metro route from Coorparoo to Capalaba.
This is great news for residents of the eastern suburbs as this would enable tens of thousands to gain access to fast, efficient, zero-emission public transport.
While the original 2026 Eastern Busway was defunded, with the Olympics coming in 2032 we have an opportunity to deliver a Metro line to service the seven Olympic venues in the eastern suburbs, whilst providing public transport access where residents need it the most.
Eastern Transitway construction starts soon
Construction of Stage 1 of the long-awaited Eastern Transitway is expected to commence in late August 2020.
This comes after 3 years after the State government promised the project would be ‘fast-tracked’ in 2017.
Murarrie Rd & Wynnum Rd set to be signalised
Brisbane City Council is planning to upgrade the intersection of Wynnum Road and Murarrie Road at Tingalpa to improve traffic efficiency and safety, and cater for existing and future traffic demands at this intersection.
This project is part of Council’s $1.3 billion commitment to take real action on congestion, by focusing on a range of solutions to improve the existing road network, getting residents home more quickly and safely.
