I could not believe this. The irony was, this article appeared right next 
to the Yarra Trams article about the new trams and super stops. 

Trams add to the atmosphere of Bourke Street Mall, and have the added 
convenience of being able to pick up passengers right from the shops. I 
can't believe that the Melbourne City Council could be so out of touch with 
the needs and wants of the people. And to suggest that the Bourke Street 
Mall is a dismal failure as a pedestrian centre? Come off it. Looks like 
they've wanked themselves blind enough already.

IMHO, the MCC can go and get stuffed.
