The centrepost of conversation about what makes QLD great.

Believes in the promise, the present and the future of QLD.

Non-partisan, centrist, self-styled urbanist.

Prefers to be the third choice in a two choice question.

(Although, the Garrick St link for Roma St Station would be nice for alleviating the congestion a single subway connection between trains, busway (,soon CRR) and Roma St Parklands all share.)

Only makes it more critical that the Transit Centre's replacement allows for a second corridor.

And, finally: the ultimate plans for a Roma St Parkland that closely resembles what we have today.

This line sums it up:
"at this stage QT has no plans to upgrade the section between Beenleigh-Redland Bay Road and
Smith Street before 2005."

The Pacific Highway between Loganholme and Nerang would have been hell in the early 2000's if it hadn't been upgraded like it was post-Mundingburra.

But in the washup of the 1995 state election: the northern section was axed, the section south of the Logan River became preserved corridor, and a Pacific Hwy upgrade plan was played out... that didn't survive Mundingburra '96.

We all know now, why Daisy Hill residents were rightfully angry and the most vocal concerning the "Eastern Corridor".

A 2.8km cut/cover tunnel was proposed through Daisy Hill State Forest.

This would ultimately become... the Roma Street Parklands project.

The ambitions for Queensland Place would never be fulfilled though.

Next we have the original plans for "Albert Park", a adaptive reuse of the Roma St railyards.

A news story related to these particular papers was preserved, by @flemishdog.bsky.social back in September last year.

What became Portside Wharf would not open for eleven years... while it's biggest detriment that was foreseen then (largest ship able to dock 245m long/7m draft), wasn't rectified until the late 2010's with the BICT east of the Gateway Bridge.
