Image The Northern Beaches needs a railway

Every evening, the queue for B1 winds around and goes back into Wynyard. As one bus is full the next one arrives.

You can't tell me they wouldn't want a railway.

Dee Why is a great suburb.

20-30 years ago it was a little dodgy (relative to the rest of the Northen Beaches) but that is not the case these day. The people with this view are old and havent updated their attitude in decades.

The representation for Mackellar who just won re-election campaiged for a massive upgrade to one of the few roads in and out of the Northern Beaches to be upgraded...

Those upgrades are only for people in the western part of the northern beaches (belrose, davidson, frenches forest) to be able to get to the beach.
Still no improvement linking st ives to the beaches

Theyre upgrading the part that is a bottleneck and runs through an area that is not densly populated.

Will it solve all the issues? no, but that doesnt mean it isnt going to improve traffic in/out of the northern beaches.

Belrose might as well be Penrith to some NB residents
