And not a whole lot to be done about it now except make as much noise as possible to try to make them get the design right. And keep lighting to a minimum. The "Drivethrough" animation Vicroads made does not fill you with hope, showing about 20 lights leading up to and in the planned roundabouts.
We knew we were in strife just after the election when one of our agitators about the problems with the now selected route met with our new local member who said 'But Everyone Wants It In The West" and when pressed on it the source for that information was revealed to be "Oh, I met with Mr B.... (Who stood to loose a chunk of his property on any of the other routes) and he told me everyone wants it in the west"
I like where we live or it would be simpler just to move. The stupid thing is that the now selected option, I would have a substantially quicker and easier trip to and from work every day, and I still hate the idea.
