and go the way of Belrose and Frenches Forest. Isn't there already a Tech park
at Blacktown - with Sony, Sharp and Pepsi?

Unfortunately the automobile is the basis of Silicon Valley and from what I have
seen of KL (the home of the Petronas Towers) and its satellite Cyberjaya.
Though they do have a fabulous automatic train from the Airport to Cyberjaya and
KL.

 From the article, it appears this is just another Road building project and 
maybe even a tunnel or two.
