Melbourne Airport Rail workers redeployed as project officially paused.

A really disappointing, backwards step here from the Victorian government.

And yes, stopping and then restarting a major infrastructure project (if that's what ends up happening) is almost certain to lead to delays and cost blowouts, when compared to just completing construction.

From The Age:

"Hundreds of tradespeople will be seconded to other projects after the Andrews government confirmed Melbourne Airport Rail Link construction would be paused, awaiting the results of a major Commonwealth review of the country’s infrastructure pipeline.

"Deputy Premier Jacinta Allan on Wednesday ended weeks of speculation about the future of the long-awaited rail line, saying works would be temporarily halted on the $13 billion Airport Rail Link, as well as upgrades of Clyde, McGregor and Racecourse roads."

It seems to me driverless cars have actually been performing surprisingly well in San Francisco, better than I would have expected for prototypes roaming around a busy city, but unusual traffic situations involving firefighters or police have resulted in several notable "Man versus Machine" standoffs.

I get a non 0 amount in my mouth each time

And even if there's a point, am I supposed to be submitting 1 complaint per day?

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, when it comes to accidents that result in pedestrian fatalities, the number of accidents per year is heavily correlated with the time of day. Approximately 75% of accidents resulting in pedestrian fatalities occur during periods of dawn, dusk, or night

Pedestrian visibility seems to play a part

I don't like social media, worsens my mental health, would rather be doing irl fuck cars then posting.

I took pictures of Marnie's bike. She doesn't have a phone I think, and if it gets stolen and if she wants to file a police report, there would be pics she could give them.

No very likely but could be useful lol
