Lord Mayor Objects To Waterloo Bus Lane Plan For “Cannibalising” Footpath & Tree Canopy

Key points

• Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore has criticised a $22 million NSW Government plan to convert a southbound Botany Road lane in Waterloo into a morning peak bus lane.
• Moore argues the project would encroach on the footpath and tree canopy, and that road widening is being presented as a bus improvement.
• Transport for NSW says Botany Road is a key bus corridor and that the changes aim to ease congestion and improve bus reliability at the McEvoy Street intersection.
