No matter how the council members vote later this month, the data is clear. The community desires safer modes of transportation, lower speed limits, and more green spaces.

A sign on a bench can lead to a song & story of that particular place in Elwood. It's delightful.

'We've dedicated so much on street space to the storage of vehicles that we don't have as much green space or trees or seating or even wide footpaths' David Mepham challenges the primacy of carparking in urban planning and decision making in @theage

'We're looting active and public transport budgets to subsidise parking budgets' says urban planner David Mepham @theage

Best way to get the kids to the beach?

[Port Phillip BUG @PortPhillipBUG]

It is too often claimed that everyday tasks can't be done by bike, and that's why car parking must be protected above human lives.

This is contradicted by what we observe.

[shane lee @shavo27]

@HeathRyan16 @Geoffie_P I was chatting to the barista in campos after ( needed a moment to myself) And he said he sees it every week on chapel the doorings. It's designed in a way that's not safe for anyone. And until we have that level of maturity to share the road we need kerbside protection.

[Port Phillip BUG @PortPhillipBUG]

Pastries and bananas are nice, @cityportphillip, thank you, for Ride2Work brekkie.

But safe bike infrastructure is what we really need.

[Port Phillip BUG @PortPhillipBUG]

More people would Ride2Work with better bike infrastructure.
Support safe and pleasant options for Inkerman St at tonight's @cityportphillip council meeting.

Excellent introduction to the options below thanks to @progportphillip

Recently there’s been 33 recorded crashes on Inkerman St in East St Kilda. 2/3s of those involved were #cyclists & pedestrians. One of the most dangerous roads in #PortPhillip. At Council on Weds there’s opportunity to improve road safety for all - and add a lot of tree canopy.

Isn't active transport great? Just met a guy on the Westgate Punt who had run the half marathon and was riding home (ebike) to the west via the Punt.

eBikes prompt conversations.
