Parramatta. Garrard goes against mayors

Lord Mayor of Parramatta City Council, Paul Garrard, has rejected calls from fellow mayors at the Local Government and Shires Conference, in Tamworth, to scrap the CBD Metro while supporting claims that more money should be spent on developing other transport options in Sydney’s west. West Metro, stage two of the CBD Metro, connecting Sydney and the inner west to Parramatta and Westmead, would deliver improved infrastructure for Australia’s busiest transport corridor: “The CBD Metro is a key component in the development of a broader more effective rail network,” Cr Garrard said.
