Council wobbles on bike lanes: Drivers, business owners force rethink

protected bike lanes

“If we need to take a pause to understand how the mechanics of bicycle lanes [are] working and interacting with other modes of transport and how that can work better, then that’s a good thing,” she told ABC Radio Melbourne on Friday.on Exhibition Street on Friday, describing the separated bike lanes as “a mess”. The lane on Exhibition Street is one of the lanes built during the pandemic.

“It feels genuinely pretty safe being on the separated bike lane, which is probably the main reason that I do [cycle].”Lincoln Walkom, who rides to work from Ascot Vale daily via the protected lanes on Exhibition Street, said he was disappointed to learn of the council’s decision.“If you’ve got some designated roads for bikes it makes it a lot safer for everyone,” he said.“How many people in the city are really driving in to the shops anyway? Most people will catch public transport.

“No growing city in the world is trying to bring more cars into their centres, because no government can magic up more road space in dense urban centres,” he said.

MartaPascual3 jtbgraham BrentToderian such a disappointing decision, isn't it?

MartaPascual3 jtbgraham RohanLeppert really disappointed with decision to shelve rollout. Collaboration needed with inner City Councils to deliver well connected routes. Growth in e scooters and micro mobility will drive demand on increasingly contested streets

MartaPascual3 jtbgraham Meanwhile in Sydney you can't rent an apartment with a car space AND the cycle ways mean no street parking.

MartaPascual3 jtbgraham Good luck. This is the response I received from council today of my 'complaint' of a structure built in a bike lane.

MartaPascual3 jtbgraham Exhibition at is a disaster now with car parking and bike lanes too busy a street to have them

MartaPascual3 jtbgraham About time!!

MartaPascual3 jtbgraham Can't win either way, so go for the least worst option.

MartaPascual3 jtbgraham not enough usage in my opinion. even most of the delivery bikes dont. made it to hrd to get around the city

MartaPascual3 jtbgraham Now get rid of the ones you have put in

MartaPascual3 jtbgraham want to see me without a bra?

MartaPascual3 jtbgraham Such inspiring leadership.
