Far too many already. Instead, way better idea to make public transport free so people use this instead of driving. No more tunnels or bridges! Far too many already.

It will link west end southbank GABBA, valley, city, spring hill. Funny that all of the suggested bridges and tunnels are already planned including the circular rail.

More Kurilpa style green bridges (they're cheap), a second at the end of Sylvan Rd, Toowong, across to west end, and a third from west end to St Lucia. 2. The corridor reserved for the kenmore bypass should be used for busway or light rail instead, with an inbound buslane added to the western freeway. My top two:

Anywhere between the Regatta and Guyatt Park would be good! A bridge connecting the West End/Highgate Hill area to St Lucia/Toowong. Anywhere between the Regatta and Guyatt Park would be good!

How widening the outer suburbs roads i.e. ipswich and gateway motorways for those who are stuck on them for 3 hours a day! P.S. congestion tax is not a good idea when there is not enough public transport for everyone to use as an alternative!

What happened to the idea of a light rail system??? Not that there is really any space left to build such a network thanks to the prevelant lack of town planning around this great city since the 70's. I have to agree that something needs to be done about the William Taylor bridge. Why can't we have a circular system like they do in many larger cities, re-direct the traffic away from the CBD and support the building of smaller centres around the outskirts of Brisbane. The government is currently looking at expanding Mt Gravatt, Chermside, and Moggill as larger hubs, thats great but how do we travell to them when at the moment our only option is a few buses? Love your work Brisbanism I am against any more tunnels!

No more tunnels!! If there is a spare few billion dollars to spend, how about using to retool our transport infrastructure rather than sinking into 'solutions' that have already been shown to fail. We add more public transport (esp in the outer suburbs) at the same time as bringing in congestion charges. Gah! No more tunnels!!
