Did I read something a few years ago regarding any new tram lines that
are laid in Melbourne MUST be laid in "reserve track" such as the East

I remember reading something about somebody (PTUA?) getting upset when
the track was laid in Spring Street for the City Circle Tram, because
the cars were allowed to drive on the track (between Collins &
Flinders Street)

Maybe that is why Yarra wants the road wider??
