Great @yarrabike.bsky.social radio episode on @3crmelbourne.bsky.social. Shows how important the Streets People Love campaign is. Pushing for livable streets that include bike infrastructure is going to get more general support than solely pushing bikes. Also probably gets more pleasant bike routes.

Councils can still choose not to roll 30km/hr zones out, but this gives them the choice to do so. To get the Fitzroy/Collingwood 30km/hr zone up in Yarra, we had to jump through so many hoops. Eliminating some of those hoops is a big deal.

I’m a massive advocate for 30km/hr speed limits… and today was a big day 🥹 I’ve been working for ages to make it easier for councils to implement this life saving speed limit. And today, the Department of Transport and Planning’s Speed Zoning Policy was updated to allow councils this choice! 💚

Who cycles in Richmond? 🙋🏻‍♀️ The intersection of Swan and Lennox is bustling - full bars, live music, great restaurants! But it’s a tricky spot to navigate by bike. We’ve proposed some changes that would make it simpler. Let us know your thoughts: yoursayyarra.com.au/transport202... #cycling #bike

Who cycles in Fitzroy North? 🙋🏻‍♀️ The intersection of Scotchmer and St Georges Rd is important - lots of local shops and cafes. Yet I often have people tell me how dicey they find it on a bike and on foot. Let us know your thoughts: yoursayyarra.com.au/transport202... #cycling #bike #pedestrian
