Keen to hear people’s thoughts. Personally I think the SRL will change how Melbourne works in ways current modelling won’t consider. That comes at a high cost, but is it too high?

Do you think that all the states of the SRL will ever be completed? (aussie.zone)

Personally as much as I'd love to have it, I am extremely doubtful that it will happen, at least this century. Maybe far far in the future, at least after 2150 (that is if there isn't some new mode of transport by then), but I don't think that anything beyond SRL East will actually be constructed in my lifetime.
