 Don't MAX the Malls 1
22 August 2013. Mock Trams in Hay Street Mall Perth, to illustrate what will be lost if the proposed light rail enters the Mall which is only 16m wide.
|  Don't MAX the Malls 2
22 August 2013. No station is proposed in the Mall which means through traffic at speed and no benefit to retailers, shoppers or pedestrians who will have to be on full alert at all times for passing trams.
|  Don't MAX the Malls 3
22 August 2013. Alfresco opportunities in Hay Street Mall will be lost. Catenary structure would impair views of treasured icons such as London Court.
|  Don't MAX the Malls 4
22 August 2013. All street planting, street art, sculpture, street performances and stall opportunities in Hay Street Mall will be lost. Malls are for pedestrians, not for traffic!

 Don't MAX the Malls 5
22 August 2013. Illustration of the narrow space between passing trams. No safety for pedestrians.
|  Don't MAX the Malls 6
22 August 2013. Delivery access will be restricted and outside stair structure from Carillon would be removed meaning the loss of a fire escape path.
|  Don't MAX the Malls 7
22 August 2013. No Trees, No Shade, No Seating when all these facilities are removed for Tram tracks. Keep the Trams out of the Hay Street Mall...
|  Don't MAX the Malls 8
22 August 2013. Keep the Mall for pedestrian use only. In busy times, it is already packed with people and already has insufficient seating at lunch time. The Mall needs more trees and seats, not passing Trams...

I kept away so as not to upset the mother. It grew much bigger, then sadly I found its skeleton in the nest about 3 weeks later.

I wasn't happy with this effort and got the contractors to return to take more height off the top.
