The amended West Gate Distributor proposal is not a solution to the problem of trucks on the roads in the Inner West of Melbourne.  

This is a profit-driven plan that shifts the issue rather than solves it - at the expense of hundreds of residents who live within very close vicinity of the proposed tunnel entrance, at the expense of residents who live above the proposed tunnel pathway and at the expense of the entire communities of Yarraville, Spotswood and surrounding areas who will lose significant green space if this proposal goes ahead.  We live in increasingly dense areas that are already impacted by truck noise, emissions and limited green space.  The amended proposal does nothing to solve these issues for the people of the Inner West.
