Tram works
Ah, the joys of urban living. There is some seriously heavy construction work going on outside my apartment today. It started last night and is scheduled to continue non-stop until Monday morning. There are jack-hammers out in full force, the noise of heavy machinery moving back and forth, and workmen dressed in fluoro-coloured jackets talking loudly. The tram stops are being upgraded to comply with disability requirements. It seems like a total waste of money. My tram stops are relatively new and were only put in a couple of years ago. Why didn't they have the foresight to install disabled-friendly platforms back then? Idiots.

You're talking about a colaboration between Yarra Trams and the state government, foresight? Yeah thats a good one. Don't worry, I'm sure in a couple of years time they'll need to pull the stop up again to remedy something else they didn't think of. Because they're all about improving the network after all.
I reckon they'll decide the stop needs to be 100 metres further up in another two years - for the good of commuters.
