While Chief Minister Andrew Barr says 'it takes political courage' to stand by his light rail timeline, even ACT Labor's junior partner in government is disappointed in how long it will take before Stage 2B makes it over Lake Burley Griffin.
It really is silly how long this is taking to make progress, even stage 2A is taking a huge amount of time for the distance it’s going. It’s a pity the light rail was so politicised as a north vs south spending thing as I think it would have made sense to be at least getting the planning ready for other lines (e.g. Belco, potentially airport) while this was going on.
