Why does there have to be any road acquisition? Whitehorse Rd beyond the
Mont Albert terminus is at least as wide (and in places wider) than up
to the present terminus, and the extension will mean the trams terminate
on a private track rather than in the middle of the road at a dangerous,
busy intersection.
