Bureaucrats do wonderful things with our money: the bridge for the Dingley Arterial over Cheltenham Road was built, at great expense, in lieu of traffic lights as proposed in original plans to cut back on the number of traffic lights in that section of Cheltenham Road.
I passed that section of Cheltenham Road on Tuesday and noticed workmen installing what seemed to be a pedestrian crossing with lights right next to the overpass, about 200 metres from an existing set of lights at Supercheap Auto. Why build the overpass there in the first place if traffic is still going to be subject to more stop and go with these lights? It’s money down the drain; but why would they worry: it’s not their money they are spending.
