Take a stand
against greed, corruption and stupidityWhat sort of city is your work helping to build?
What sort of city do you want our young people to inherit?
The leaders of the road industry and their political puppets are pushing Sydney down
the road to a Los Angeles disaster!
The private tollway operators need to generate more and more traffic to make their
investments profitable.
Greed, corruption, and stupidity have pushed honest and rational urban planning out of
the driver's seat!
The tollway operators don't care what this will
do to the lives of ordinary Sydneysiders like yourself.
They don't care about the horrendous increase in traffic their motorways are creating.
¨ As a result of the M4 extension, traffic on the M4 and Great
Western Highway jumped 33 per cent in just two years! (Bruce Baird, quoted in the
Parramatta Advertiser, 27 July 1994).
¨ The M2 consortium is eagerly anticipating a 25 per
cent jump in traffic in the north-west sector as a result of the M2 (SMH 24 February
1995).
The tollway operators don't care about rapidly increasing air and noise pollution.
They don't care about the destruction of our precious urban bushland remnants.
If this continues our children will inherit a gridlocked, smog-choked megalopolis
stretching through the Blue Mountains in the west, up to Newcastle in the north and down
to Wollongong in the south.
You have a moral obligation to help expose the double-dealing,
stupidity and greed which are corrupting the public service and the engineering profession.
Reveal what you know about the lies and scams. Talk to a journalist. Contact a veteran
conservationist. Post a document. Your confidentiality will be protected.
Sydney's future is in your hands.
