These are the only direct routes from Victoria Rd to the Uni and from Stanmore to the City resp and should be cycle routes IMHO, but they say these are in the nice if we could but we wont try too hard category. Well they could start by lowering the speed limit from 60 on The Crescent (ridiculous), putting in some bike lanes where they can (already some, although substandard), use Bike Logos in the KSL where you cant, etc. Its jammed with traffic most of the time in peak hours so speeds are low and bikes can get past easily - probably much quuicker by bike than car. Same goes for Bridge rd, which likewise has some bike lanes already, just needs a bit of thinking to make it reasonable for your seasoned commuter. Anyway, if making a submission, give them a serve over omitting these two roads. Also they talk of the foreshore route around Glebe Pt and Blackwattle Bay as a recreation route, but it will be a good commuter route too, so they should recognise this and design it accordingly. fb |

Anyway, if making a submission, give them a serve over omitting these two roads. I was a bit annoyed that they didn't do those too as their routes add unrequired time and distance to my current commute. Also they talk of the foreshore route around Glebe Pt and Blackwattle Bay as a recreation route, but it will be a good commuter route too, so they should recognise this and design it accordingly. I think they want to funnel commuters over the Anzac Bridge, leaving the scening waterside route for dogwalkers and other real people... Zebee |
