		The western and eastern connections to the M4 and to Parramatta Road would be identical to the short tunnel option.
		However, as westbound traffic on Parramatta Road would be moved across to the new roadway over the westbound lanes of the slot, additional area would be available to provide for streetscape enhancement and possibly to increase traffic lane widths slightly or to allow for public transport initiatives such as light rail.
		A study is underway to investigate the feasibility of light rail in the vicinity of Parramatta Road.

		Most of the road is 4 lanes in width, whereas the section of Parramatta Road it replaced was mainly six lanes wide.

	Parnell v. Small [1832] NSWSupC 72 (1 October 1832)
		Thompson has proved is that it is an occupation road; a way leading from farm to farm, it does not, therefore, follow that all mankind have a right to go there.
		Farnell's; they were no fences at each side of the road formerly, but I have seen some in some placed lately; I have also seen a fence across the road, but I passed that way on horseback, by taking the split-rails down; I dare say there was room enough for a dray to pass.
		The plaintiff alleged in his declaration that the road in question was used for his own carts and carriages, not that it had been so used by others; and that use by the plaintiff alone, did not constitute it a public highway.

	Green Left - Residents say no to more motorways and traffic
		For residents, the road reservations are a bitter reminder that the state government has not come clean about its proposals for road widenings and traffic planning across the whole of Sydney.
		The F6 involves a widening of the Princes Highway to traffic from the south of Sydney and widening “feeder roads” to scuttle traffic from the F6 near the airport area to Parramatta Road, the M4 and M5, via a network involving local roads in the Marrickville area.
		There is a possible connection from Victoria Road near Balmain to Parramatta Road via Johnston Street in Annandale, which would cut a swathe of bitumen and pollution through the beautifully preserved area, ironically preserved from sterile Norton Street-style development through the imposition of a road reservation in the past.

		Increased traffic on Parramatta Road would then pave the way for the next stage of the motorway, already planned from Parramatta Road to Mascot.
		The RTA has been allowed to shirk its responsibility to reduce road congestion, and it has been given a free rein to skew the border transport agenda in favour of more motorways.
