I presume the trams will have their own lanes, so if I ran the world I'd
have put the tram lanes on the eastern side of the bridge (separated
from the car traffic; didn't it used to be like that in St George's Road
in Preston?). Then they'd only have to cross traffic at Flinders Street,
and could run over the bridge and straight to the tennis centre on the
southern side of the bridge. One less set of traffic lights; better for
both the cars and the trams.

Hey, if you buy an e-tag and carry it home on the 70, will you get
charged for that trip? :)
