City of Melbourne civil lawsuit, 99-416-CIV-ORL-19B, was filed in Federal Court in the Middle District of Florida on April 7, 1999.
The lawsuit alleges that the City of Melbourne violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Law over 4,000 times in 2-year period when armed Melbourne Police Officers were guarding the 36-foot buffer zone part of the Aware Woman facility created by a private injunction obtained by the Aware Woman abortion clinic.

 City Loop, Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Several plans had been proposed over the preceding decades to alleviate the bottleneck, but none were to see the light of day, except for the concept of a circular railway allowing trains to continue past Flinders Street, turn around and return to the suburbs.

Although the city's tram network already covered the CBD extensively, trams are not as efficient as trains when bringing large numbers of commuters into the city.
