More information on what stage 2A of Canberra's light rail network will look like as public consultation opens

ABC  

The National Capital Authority has begun taking feedback on the aesthetics, accessibility and conformity to Walter Burley Griffin's 1918 plan for the next stage of light rail from Canberra's city to Commonwealth Park. Key points: ​​​New details of stage 2A of Canberra's light rail network have been released as public consultation for the project opens The proposed plans include three new stops, a cobbled median on London Circuit West and protected cycleways ACT Transport Minister Chris Steel says new public transport infrastructure is necessary to keep up with Canberra's growth Today, newly released plans available for public feedback reveal more about how the next stage of the network will look, including details about tracks, public stops and associated landscaping. The federal and ACT governments are both working to deliver stage 2A of Canberra's light rail network, which is the biggest infrastructure project in the capital's history. To differentiate from the road, there would be "a cobbled median" on London Circuit West, and a new inset bridge for the light rail constructed over Parkes Way between the two current Commonwealth Avenue bridges. ACT Minister for Transport Chris Steel said stage 2A would "establish Canberra's north-south mass transit public transport spine".
