@danielbowen @pittmaniacal @PierreVairo Might be, although it could be getting lost in the zoning, but should be a yellow highlight with red outline.

@davelkelly They do equate inner city green councilors sensible reaction to public housing renewal programs being a front for privatisation, as nimbyism.

@railmaps I would imagine why it would work in Switzerland is that most of their network is electrified so the panels would have quick access to the grid. For this to work in Australia would be to roll out electrification.

@Blue_Pie_Ninja Witnessed a driver looking at their phone driving 40-60km through the new bike and pedestrian crossing on Oakover road Preston. Their SUV barely rocked over the speed hump. No doubt feeling invincible in their mobile tank.

Just love seeing our nations leaders declaring to the world, please don't forget to nuke us, we are important too.

[light on rails @tramsport]

US- The purpose of these nuclear submarines is float around undetected and be the doomsday machine from Doctor Strange love.
AUS- we will take 8, any chance of accepting lay by?

[light on rails @tramsport]

@heritage_why Yes, high fences/hedges makes for unsafe streetscapes. Street surveillance is an important planning principal.

@bonditransit @MelbOnTransit Again, your correct. I'm thinking within the limits of this quasi private system. By assigning two modes to the one operator would draw attention to this issue and perhaps see some movement towards cooperation.

[light on rails @tramsport]

@MelbOnTransit Your right, probably wouldn't without resourcing. However, slowly undoing this unnecessary segmentation of the city's transport modes should be a starting point towards coordination efforts. Metro ought to be responsible for slow trams/trans not connecting to train/tram services

@michael_of_melb @heritage_why It's the most direct means of ensuring the long term sustainability of live music is the venues is by ensuring operators have flexible secure lease agreements based on community objectives not market returns.

[light on rails @tramsport]

@michael_of_melb @heritage_why Should be acquired by the state and provide long term lease for live music on generous terms. Same can be applied whenever a live music institution comes up for sale i.e. john curtain.

[light on rails @tramsport]

@heritage_why Although, we ought to also consider ongoing costs which exceeds 70-90% of cost over a buildings life frame. Doesn't help those on low income purchasing a lower upfront home that pushes them into energy poverty due to poor efficiency.

[light on rails @tramsport]

@heritage_why There is, because so much energy efficiency is design based not simply material and building code. Building orientation, cross-flow ventilation etc cannot be achieved during a building permit if a planning permit is required.

@places_calling If it looks like a sewer, people will treat it as such. Rewilding the concrete creeks would uplift community appreciation and desire to protect and care for it.

@declanmartin75 I witness someone hauling a full size fridge on the 86 last Thursday.
