don't make the river a concrete jungle of infrastructure.

So on the news tonight I saw them talking about slow traffic and the need for more bridges and roads etc.

This is crazy. There are at least 5 different routes to get from A to B so why is there a need to speed the times and allow even more ways of getting to places.

I probably don't really understand being merely 16 years of age. But as far as I'm concerned the traffic is just fine, i may not ever be caught in peek hour city traffic, but like... I don't know...

People should just suck it up. If they have a problem with being caught in traffic, maybe ride a bike, or walk... or take a different route - after all there are many to choose from.

And the Brisbane river is already covered in bridges for ever purpose - there's bus bridges, a train bridges, pedestrian bridges, multi-purpose bridges, toll-free bridges, toll bridges.. there are 15 bridges that cross the river. it's kind of crazy I think. when driving through the city, about ever half kilometer there is another bridge, every corner you turn, another is rearing its ugly head. Not to mention a $2.2 billion tunnel UNDER the river which is never used.

Yes understandable they are probably necessary I just think it makes Brisbane look more and more concrete, there is no nature left in our society. There are plans for about another 5 bridges in the near future, and probably plenty of road work.

I don't know. It would be a real pain without them... but there are many ways to get home and such. Just... people need to chill, and I don't know....

Just a random vent, I don't really want things to change so this was most likely pointless... I guess I kind of just miss the shiny blue water and the green environment.
