Please find attached the EPA response to the Parramatta Light Rail Stage 1 EIS.

Please see attached

Is it possible to see the reasons as to why Light Rail was chosen against the other option of BRT (Bus Rapid Transport) even though the Table 7.1 Comparison of light rail and Bus Rapid Transit in the CBD on page 100 of Infrastructure NSW/ State Infrastructure Strategy clearly shows BRT to be a better option?
Now Light Rail proposal is in final stages for Western Sydney. The interesting thing is no alternative has been considered for Western Sydney as if Light Rail is some sort of panacea to solving transport challenge. If Light Rail for CBD was shown as inferior option, why the same mistake is being made for Western Sydney and without evaluating any other alternative option? Can someone explain please!

See attached file.

In response to the EIS exhibited for Stage 1 of the PLR, I attach a 2 page submission supported by plans, outlining 6 major design issues. But importantly, solutions are also proposed so that a useable and functional PLR can be delivered for the people of Western Sydney.
