On Saturday the State Govt called for tenders to construct the new Park and Ride along Link Road in Claremont. Here is a portion of the overall key plan for the build from the tender documents.

It seems like a bad time to publish a tender with companies in the construction business winding down for the Christmas break.

But I guess the govt wants to get the Park and Ride built and run in before they finalize the design for the new Sports Centre over the road near Claremont College and start building that.

Only time will tell if people actually use the Park and Ride. And let’s hope that bus services are improved on Link Road to encourage people to use it. Very few Metro services travel the full length of Link Road.
