Plans for 4 upgraded tram stops along Droop St are now available as part of the Route 82 upgrade.

Along with the introduction of new low-floor G class trams to the route, platform tram stops will be installed next year along Droop St.

• The footpath/kerb will be extended at each stop, allowing for level-boarding
• Shelters with seats put in, improved lighting
• Passenger information display screens showing next arrivals
• Nearby bus stops combined with the tram stops
• Some tram stops relocated/amalgamated
• Some permanent road changes for cars
• Major construction starting early next year

A 5th upgraded stop is planned for Gordon St near the Maccas but there are utility complications with the site. Personally I feel the route upgrade is surprisingly good for our part of the network but of course much needed, especially the stop at Tiernan St for the hospital. I believe it's going to improve the area's public transport capacity, accessibility, and amenity, making transport more comfortable for everyone. Also that one dangerous tram stop on Ballarat Rd is finally being closed.

Just a harmless image stitching error, but I will now forever call this Ballarallarat road.

Using dslibris to read eBooks has been really nice.

Reading on the DSi has been more compelling and motivating for me than physical books. It's faster because I don't get lost in a sea of words per page, page turning is instant, and it's lighter and smaller than a physical book. I can comfortably hold and use the DSi with one hand, and it stays open without pressure. It can carry many books, set bookmarks, change from light to dark mode. Best of all, it's shaped like a book, which can open and close right where you left off.

It's a lot of the benefits of a dedicated e-reader device, except the DSi can also hold your games & other software, it's a great music player that works even when closed, and the low quality camera + editor produces charming photos.

*Also my water bottle refracted sunlight onto the DS for a min and I had to share this captured moment.

Not normally a sticker person but they're so cute on the 3ds.

Seriously though, anyone else find the character faces in this game funny? Mostly it's fine but there are moments where I look hella chopped.
