I personally knew Jim when I worked on the Parramatta rail link in Sydney. A pure gent who spent a lot of his time helping others and showing the young lads the way to operate.
RIP Jim

Because Jim, Diane and family were a strong part of Cromwell community during the dam days. They were missed when they moved and have never been forgotten.

I believe the tunnel should be named after jim Adams as he worked & lost his life working on this tunnel instead of it being named after a politician who has contributed nothing

I’m signing this petition because of the years this man has dedicated as a tunneller and he has also been used as an advocate around Australia to support health & safety in the tunnelling industry.

Michelle Gilbert (Sydney, 2020-03-30)

#561

I believe that by naming this tunnel after the person who lost their life, gives not only a form of closure and peace to his family and friends, but the ability for the state to acknowledge that there are workplace deaths and that everyone needs to ensure they do their best so that they and their workmates get to go home each and every night... Please let a life lost make a difference to those left alive and every time people drive through the tunnel or say it's name they can remember that life is precious and that they need to take care no matter what they are dong...
