A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities audits 386 temporary bus stop relocations, loading-zone trials, pop-up contraflow lanes, and school-street closures across eleven local government areas, finding only 9% close on schedule while 73% remain in place past their original term, split between an unresolved backlog and a larger share with no reversion decision on file at all.
