North Melbourne Tram Stops: Excluding Wheelchair Users

Description

Disability advocates criticize new state government plans for tram stops in North Melbourne, which lack raised platforms, excluding wheelchair users and prams. The Department of Transport plans to merge stops and remove car parks for larger G-class trams, but no timeline for accessible stops is provided. Victoria has missed accessibility deadlines, and an auditor-general report shows little improvement in tram network accessibility over the past five years.
