Tunnel development set for Englischer Garten in Munich, Germany

The German state of Bavaria will invest around €35 million in a road tunnel under the Englischer Garten in Munich. The city of Munich will have to find the rest of the expected €125 million construction cost for the 380m tunnel that will replace a motorway that splits the park. German media reports say that city authorities will look toward some form of private sponsorship for tunnel that would likely be a cut and cover design that would follow closely the current alignment of the highway.

    If you’re going to have an accident, why not make a real day of it and have several? That’s exactly what one motorcycle driver – a possible Evel Knievel in training - did in the Philippines capital Manila. If you watch closely, the driver had a passenger when he ran into the first vehicle, a white minivan. Wisely, the passenger did not get back on after both he and the motorcycle driver were tossed off. Instead, the passenger casually wanders around, following the driver as he embarks on yet more prangs.

The ITF evaluated the potential impact of transport policies on urban carbon
