It's shift work so it has its moments. I moved more than three years ago, loved it, and about 18 months ago bought my own place here. I'm a Parramatta boy originally. Didn't know anyone when I came. Beach volleyball was the ice- breaker. Now I'm one of few regular token Aussies down there. I like the lifestyle at Manly.

''Metro rail will deliver some real options and high capacity options,'' he said. ''We need to look at how we can have the right projects and networks in place to deal with the long term growth pressures that are coming.'' Mr Baird, who has also made a submission to the government, was sceptical about how the northern beaches community would take to a metro rail system as it would require a huge capi- tal investment and the popu- lation to support it. ''On the northern beaches, that's not something anyone is going to sign up to,'' he said. ''In the short to medium term, the rapid transit system is such a compelling option for the community.'' He said a rapid transit system was an ideal solution for traffic snarls along the Manly corridor as it had frequent buses, no timetable and would get around 20 per cent of people out of their cars while slashing pollution and travel times. It could run on the existing roads or through a short tunnel from the bottom of the Spit, joining the Warringah Freeway at Neutral Bay and could be upgraded to light rail if the population con- tinued to grow. Paying for the system would cost around $4.3 million per kilometre while bus lanes could be brought into the centre of road links preventing the removal of customer car parking, Mr Baird added. ''It will not directly impact on the retail precinct in the short term,'' he said. Mr Baird said the obvious and most urgent problem on the peninsula was the Spit Bridge which needed to be urgently addressed. But he felt the IPA's idea to build a high bridge over The Spit would be ''unpopular'' and there needed to be a better solution to ease conges- tion which costs Sydneysiders $12.3 million a day. Mr Lyon said completing all the projects outlined in its submission would cost tens of billions of dollars.
