Canberra transport paper proposes shift to transit, walking, cycling

[Peter Parker <parkerp@pcug.org.au>]

Though there's not a lot of rail-specific content in it, aus.rail readers 
also interested in urban public transport may be interested in a paper 
produced by the Sustainable Transport Working Group of the Conservation 
Council of the South East Region and Canberra (How's that for a 
mouthful!). 

Called "Canberra at the Crossroads - A way out of the transport mess", 
the paper suggests a greater emphasis on public transport, walking and 
cycling.  

The paper, though written for Canberra, is relevant to most other 
Australian cities.  It is available on-line via the following URL:

A handy Executive Summary is provided to sum up the points made.  Also on 
the home page are details of the STWG's activities and links to other 
sustainable transport sites around the world.  

Regards,

Peter Parker
