Sneaky development

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Sneaky development

Ya gotta be careful in this day and age, developments will sneak up on you when you not watching... eating up that green space and invading that skyline.

My tribute to the westconnex program..

Have a read of this page for some great spin..

http://www.westconnex.com.au/library/di ... index.html

if they used the phrase 'world’s best design standards' any more i think I would barf - can anyone educate me on what this actually means, is there a world best design standard ? does that mean the tunnel will be as good as the ones in Norway ;) ?
'WestConnex will remove traffic from local roads'
really ? how do they figure that ?

Anyway the image is actually from the other side of the park where there is a bunch of new apartment development going on.. i guess they are all gonna have cars and drive on local roads :)

Simple. Just erect concrete barricades at either end of the road. That's what they did to force people onto the Intercity or whatever its called. And you should see the mess they made of Epping Road to force people to use that tunnel.

And don't forget the mess they made with the Cross City Funnel.

But a major part of the problem is faulty design and poor planning. The M5 tunnel was obsolete before the first sod (Bob Carr?) was turned.

And charging to use the Funnel forces many people into the city, when they should be bypassing it. Charging motorists to go onto the city streets, rather than bypass them, will help alleviate congestion.
