Trust our council to stuff things up. Sack the lot of them. Sandra Grills

Geelong would do better planning with a free tram system servicing all the main shopping areas. From Belmont, City and to Corio Village. John Boom

There is no way I would want to ride up High St. Kathleen Skidmore

Doing their damnedest to High St. Carol Saunders

More than enough off street parking along that strip. Terry Burns

Bring back the trams. Peter Uzelac

You think trams will take up less room than a couple of bike lanes? Peter Mitchell

This is not a good move at all. It’s already so congested. Very dangerous, let alone the shops who are struggling due to Waurn Ponds. Robyn Dodds

It’s already being killed off. There are a lot of empty shops along High St already. Kylie Lowne
