Go East! Taking the Brisbane Metro from Coorparoo to Capalaba
Council has announced that it has partnered with the Redlands City Council and the State Government to fund the Eastern Metro Study which will investigate providing a Brisbane Metro route from Coorparoo to Capalaba.
This is great news for residents of the eastern suburbs as this would enable tens of thousands to gain access to fast, efficient, zero-emission public transport.
While the original 2026 Eastern Busway was defunded, with the Olympics coming in 2032 we have an opportunity to deliver a Metro line to service the seven Olympic venues in the eastern suburbs, whilst providing public transport access where residents need it the most.
Eastern Transitway Stage 1 nears completion
Stage 1 of the project is well underway on Old Cleveland Road, between Narracott Street and Carindale Street, and at the Old Cleveland Road and Creek Road intersection.
The concrete retainers are up, the railings are in and the footpath has begun to be laid. Construction is expected to be completed later this year and I am excited to see how the changes will benefit our local roads.
