Politicians expressed sympathy for northside residents facing resumptions as the State Government rolls out the large Airport Link and Northern Busway projects through Kedron and Windsor.
Premier Anna Bligh said she understood the distress faced by extra residents waking up yesterday morning to find they would lose their homes.
"It is very difficult when we are putting in place major pieces of infrastructure," Ms Bligh said.
"I have complete sympathy with those people who will be losing their homes as a result of this project," she said.
"I ask them to understand the challenge that government faces as we make sure that we have the roads we need for the future."
She defended the information being given to residents yesterday morning.
"It is just not possible in a city like Brisbane to build what we need without having some effect on people's houses and flats," Ms Bligh said.
"Where that happens we will treat people fairly."
Lord Mayor Campbell Newman said he understood the difficulties faced by residents.
"What I understand is - and I can only go on what I have been briefed on - that there will be some widening of Stafford Road for a block from Gympie Road, west towards Stafford City," Cr Newman said.
Cheers!
