@tillkrause @szmagazin @Lutz_Christiane Aber wir müssen bis Donnerstag abwarten, um die letzte Episode anzuhören… Bin ganz ungeduldig. Toller Podcast.

@tanbrown1 @lise_moves @CathBlakey @LMWollongong I think the reason we have so many streets that are unsafe for children, schools without pedestrian crossings and streets without footpaths is 100% because for decades the people designing our streets were not the people walking kids to school… it is changing but slowly

3D ped crossings to be trialled in Manly starting this week. Well played @beachescouncil @TransportforNSW

The crossings create an optical illusion by appearing to rise up from the pavement, which research has shown can slow traffic speeds.

BREAKING: unanimous support at Council tonight for looking at increasing our climate targets in line with the new federal targets. Bank it and move on. 💪🏽

[Mithra Cox @CoxMithra]

Got a motion at tonight’s council meeting to up our ambition on climate change in line with the new federal targets. It honestly could go either way…

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t.

It took leadership.

@dylanarvela I feel like it makes the secret a bit hard to keep under wraps

[Mithra Cox @CoxMithra]

This is absurd. Do the US Secret Service really wander around with the words “Secret Service” printed on their t-shirts?

Day 15 of 100 days of cycling till #uci2022 in Wollongong. Checked out the new bike sensors on Smith St. All working, no longer need to ride onto footpath and press walk button. Thank you @Wollongong_City

@kymtje You are so mean

[Mithra Cox @CoxMithra]

@lise_moves Last night was just the first steps - asking staff to come back with all the mechanisms at our disposal for how we can influence building design, developer contributions and of course council‘s own usage.

[Mithra Cox @CoxMithra]

It was a firey debate with some disappointing things said, but we got there in the end. My motion was to start “electrifying everything” and phase out gas.
