State Government speaks out about bypass disinformation

The State Government are so concerned about disinformation contained in “anti-bypass” flyers they are circulating a flyer of their own to try and ensure local residents are not misled.
Click Here to view Government flyer.
Three areas I am concerned people may be misled:
That the alternative to a “Kenmore Bypass” is a bridge at Bellbowrie.
This is wrong (already dismissed by the government). The alternative to a bypass is years of roadwork and massive land resumptions to widen the existing Moggill Road through kenmore and Chapel Hill.
That the 3 kilometre Kenmore Bypass study is stage one of the 17 kilometre Moggill Pocket Sub Arterial.
This is wrong, the Kenmore Bypass study has been instigated to look at local traffic and is only examining the 3 kilometres from Moggill Road to the Western Freeway.
That a Kenmore Bypass would create traffic chaos on the Western Freeway.
The fact is the problem on the Western Freeway is the Toowong roundabout.
The Kenmore Bypass study is actually also considering major improvements to the Western Freeway that may benefit users
