Bike Adelaide exists to mobilise bike riders to engage with transport decisions and this is a big one. Without participation, we can not expect change. Don't wait. respond now.
There are just 2 days left to speak up on this important step towards an environmentally responsible and people-friendly transport system. Closing Friday 5pm.
As commented on Facebook by Peter.S:
"This isn't just a City issue. There is an important principle at risk in this instance and that is the ability of a few unelected interests holding sway over our Councillors and sabotaging good public policy. Make your voice heard and help us create a safer cycling culture for us all, no matter where we live or work."
A quick recap on our thoughts:
- The design is safe and comfortable including for families/teens
- The route will give low-stress cycling access to the city (a direct route along Flinders is preferable but deemed nearly impossible.)
- We can not delay any further! Get on with it!
- The centre of the road option in the info pack is untested, unsafe, and unfeasible (a distraction aiming to derail the project by opposing councilors not recommended by staff).
- Bikeways are awesome in so many ways just like people who cycle
Why don't we want to see this project fail? The Dutch Cycling Embassy sums it up well with their Bikeconomics model.
