Highway expansions and road widening
How America (Australia) Can Break Its Highway Addiction

"After a century of rampant roadbuilding, the U.S. highway network is ubiquitous, dominating the American landscape in bucolic rural settings as well as dense urban ones. Rather than being a tool for mobility, it has become a monument to an auto-centric lifestyle that fouls the air and depletes the public coffers. Neither the country nor the planet can afford to keep expanding it."

"At the federal level, even asking questions about the collective climate impact of highway building appears verboten."

The 14-kilometre Coffs Harbour bypass project for $2.2 billion. That's a lot of cycle and footpaths. What active mobility?

The impacts of the road 'renewal' projects in the Bellingen/ Gleniffer area

The stated rational given for the $5.3 Million 'Road Renewal Program' was to boost tourism and businesses of the Promised Lands and the Never Never River. The clearing of vegetation and lining the soil with bitumen and cement incidentally also eased access for the government logging corporation' access. (Tuckers Nob State Forests).

The year long road construction alone caused air pollution, noise, erosion, habitat loss, and greenhouse gas emissions.

The long term effects for wildlife and residents have been the loss of a livable habitat: Intensification of traffic on Gleniffer Rd. and Roses Rd. Speeding, night time noise from traffic. More garbage in the 'gutter'.

Many fossil fuel enthusiasts are going for their ritualistic 'Sunday drive' on The Loop Drive to the Promised Land. Hoards of wanna be 'bikies' are now attracted to cruise the loop with their souped up machines. No, 'bikie gangs' are the others, here we have the fat grey nomads that finally can afford the 'Easy Rider' Harley-thingy-toy.

The area is also a niche for many local motorbike riders that are exceeding the 94 decibels limit. People actually move to the countryside to enjoy the freedom of lawlessness in under-policed areas.
