Brunswick Voice: Apartment dwellers want planned skyrail station moved
Mark Phillips in Brunswick Voice on October 22, 2024:
RESIDENTS in apartment blocks along the Upfield line will call on the state government to move the location of the proposed new northern station to be built as part of the Brunswick level crossing removal project.
Close to 100 people who live in apartments between Hope and Albion streets attended a rally at Bulleke-bek Park on Sunday as the first step in a campaign to oppose the location of the new station.
They cannot understand why it is in the narrowest part of the southern Upfield line, pressed up against existing dwellings, and they want it to be moved south of Hope Street to a wider rail corridor where there is currently no housing.
