The 1969 Melbourne Transportation Plan was a road and rail transport plan for Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia, instituted by Henry Bolte's state government. It outlined most prominently an extensive freeway network, much of which has since been built. The plan recommended of freeway for metropolitan Melbourne, as well as extensive railways, including the city underground loop and two new lines to Doncaster and Monash University (now Clayton Campus) which were never built. Despite the majority of the printed material being devoted to non-car transport, 86 per cent of the projected budget was devoted to roads and parking, with only 14 per cent to other forms of transport. The plan was described J.M. Thompson in ''Great Cities and their Traffic'' as "clearly ... a highway plan, not – as it is called – a comprehensive transport plan" and by historian Graeme Davison as "the most expansive and expensive freeway experiment in Australian history".〔 (via Google cache)〕 In 1973, some freeway plans were pruned especially in the inner city, with State Premier Rupert Hamer cancelling all the road reservations for the unbuilt urban freeways in 1976.〔 Some outer suburban projects continued to be built by subsequent governments under new banners, including EastLink (by the Steve Bracks government), the Peninsula Link (by the Denis Napthine government). ==Background== The plan consisted of three volumes: * Survey – completed for the Melbourne Transportation Committee by Wilbur Smith & Associates and Len T. Frazer & Associates * Parking – completed for the Melbourne Transportation Committee by Wilbur Smith & Associates and Len T. Frazer & Associates * The Transportation Plan – completed by the Melbourne Transportation Committee. The scope of the plan specified surveys of vehicular and personal travel, transport facilities, goods movement by road and rail, and central city parking. It built on the previous major Melbourne Transport Plans: * 1929 Plan of General Development, Melbourne by the Metropolitan Town Planning Commission, and * 1954 Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Scheme by the Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works and the minor * 1961 Metropolitan Street Service Study by Traffic Commission Victoria. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1969 Melbourne Transportation Plan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
