For too long the old parties have been dragging the chain on Rowville Rail, said Samantha Dunn, Greens Upper House candidate for Eastern Metropolitan. The Greens support Knox Councils call for urgent action. Melbourne’s eastern suburbs desperately need better public transport. Rail services from Rowville to the city would provide one of the missing links in Melbournes mass transit system, connect Monash University to heavy rail and provide a genuine alternative to car travel. “Each train could remove 800 cars from the road, which is badly needed with peak-hour traffic at gridlock along the Monash Freeway and Wellington Road. “Rowville Rail proposals date back to 1969. It is one of the most overstudied and underdelivered public transport projects. We have waited long enough. “This Government was elected to deliver Rowville Rail and better public transport, but has become besotted by the $18 billion east-west toll road. Denis Napthine might have forgotten why his party was elected, but the Greens understand the importance of this project and will make it a reality. theage.au/victoria/transport-planning-lost-in-the-politics-says-rowville-rail-study-chief-20140921-10jz1k.html
