On Kuranda Range
With the constant issues regarding the fragility of the Kuranda Range road surely a scheduled rail motor service from Cairns Central would be way overdue? Phase 2 could then involve the extension of service to Mareeba and Gordonvale. After all the infrastructure is sitting idle most of the time. Gilbert, Cairns What reality world does Craig Crawford (CP, 16/8) live in? His solution for Kuranda Range road traffic problems is for everyone to convert to using driverless cars. Used to be called trains in the old days. I don’t hear such a view to fix traffic congestion around Brisbane. Why different for North Queensland? UUT, Innisfail Craig Crawford on driverless cars to fix the Kuranda Range. Sure, but I won’t be voting for that. Maybe we need robot politicians and we can program them to get on with the job. The Snake, Redlynch Re: Kuranda Range. Main Roads and Member for Barron River have no plan for upgrade. Some suggestions to priorities may assist in funds found such as shelve the Wangetti walking track to 2025 and stop buying cattle properties in Cape York. Fix the road, it might help reduce costs to emergency services response thus decreasing my ever-increasing levy paid in the rates. Bryan, Kuranda Driverless cars, Craig Crawford, have killed a high number of people for the distance they’ve travelled. They’re less likely to handle the unexpectedly slippery road surfaces of the Kuranda Range than an attentive human driver. Mic, Cairns
