F3-M2 Link

In March 2002 the Federal Government commissioned a study into a proposed freeway linking the current F3 freeway and M2 motorway in Sydney's north-west.

On 25 July 2003 it was announced that four options had been identified, all of which would mostly be in tunnel. The closing date for public comment was Friday 3 October 2003.

On 6 May 2004 it was announced that the preferred corridor is the Type A Purple option.

Our Position

STEP is opposed to the proposed link as it will ultimately:

increase traffic on the local road network in the long term
encourage a rush of unsustainable car-dependent development in the region and particularly on the coast
cause changes to travel behaviour that increases air pollution in the Sydney Basin
have the potential to destroy local bushland

What you can do

Change only happens when community members become involved. Whether you are a local resident who wants to have a say on the link, or an individual who wishes to lobby for sustainable urban transport in general your comment is important.

Have your say on the proposed F3-M2 link.
