Tom Andraszek<p>Almost 6 minutes to cross one intersection, near a school. I told my local representatives about this. They don't give a fuck. They drive cars. Almost everybody here drives cars and will drive cars, because the other options suck. It starts with land zoning, not building footpaths, car parking minimums, and ends with traffic light programming and a motorway through koala habitat.</p><p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=COdYMxKNQGs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">m.youtube.com/watch?v=COdYMxKN</span><span class="invisible">QGs</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ActiveTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActiveTransport</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PublicTranaport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTranaport</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GoldCoast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoldCoast</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Queensland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Queensland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FuckCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckCars</span></a></p>
Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏<p>[Edited. Kindly note: From helmets to mirrors, many have strong opinions on bike accessories. That makes sense, and we strive to respect varying viewpoints.

Anna<p>I'm safely returned today from a few days in Paris, for our 10th anniversary.<br>I got there without flying and used only public transport to get around.<br>I am fortunate enough to be able to walk, and Paris is a very walkable city. The Métro is simple and went everywhere.<br>And the bikes... people riding bikes all day long. Very little hi-viz, very few helmets. Just people in normal clothes riding as a form of transport.

BellingenNSW<p>Where is the walking and cycling infrastructure ?<br>Let's redirect funding from roads to walking and cycling infrastructure. </p><p>"Australia spends $714 per person on roads every year – but just 90 cents goes to walking, wheeling and cycling. Unfortunately, that’s how much the Australian government has invested per person annually on walking, wheeling and cycling over the past 20 years."</p><p>"As a result of this over-investment in car road-building, Australia has the smallest number of walking trips of 15 comparable countries across Western Europe and North America. Many Australians are dependent on cars because they have no other choice in terms of transport options." </p><p>"Road use is inherently dangerous – in Australia last year, more than 1,300 people died on our roads, which is more than 25 people a week." </p><p>"The typical Australian household spends 17% of its income on transport – with car ownership making up 92.5% of that figure, compared to 7.5% on public transport."</p><p>"A major source of all emissions in Australia are from driving."<br> <br>"Redirecting funding from the current road budget makes the most sense, because getting more people walking, wheeling and cycling eases pressure on the transport system (think of school holiday traffic). "</p><p>"When it comes to transport, the saying goes “we get what we build” – so if we build more roads, we get more people driving. If we build paths, we get more people walking and cycling short journeys and our roads are less congested."<br>&gt;&gt;<br><a href="https://theconversation.com/australia-spends-714-per-person-on-roads-every-year-but-just-90-cents-goes-to-walking-wheeling-and-cycling-247902" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/australia-</span><span class="invisible">spends-714-per-person-on-roads-every-year-but-just-90-cents-goes-to-walking-wheeling-and-cycling-247902</span></a></p><p>The Australian and NSW governments are funding the $2,200,000,000 ($2.2 billion), 14-kilometre Coffs Harbour bypass project.

Sydney Road needs to be revitalised to prioritise vehicle movement, as well as more pedestrian and cycling space and opportunities to Green the Sydney Road Corridor with canopy trees and vegetation to provide shade and reduce the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/UrbanHeatIslandEffect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UrbanHeatIslandEffect</span></a> that is exacerbated by global warming. </p><p>State government Department of Transport planners and local politicians should be looking at what Paris has done in recent years regarding <a href="https://aus.social/tags/activetransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activetransport</span></a> prioritisation and greening city streets, to create a more liveable, friendly and safe environment through Brunswick and Coburg.</p><p>Also Prioritisation of accessible tram stops is an essential part of upgrading Sydney Road.</p><p>That’s our thoughts on <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SydneyRoad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SydneyRoad</span></a> as <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Chihuahuas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chihuahuas</span></a> who need to cycle along Sydney Road to get to businesses there, and as <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ChihuahuasForClimateAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChihuahuasForClimateAction</span></a> <br>Read more at this 2018 report: <a href="https://www.bicyclenetwork.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/SENSIBLE_SYDNEYRD_v4_LR.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bicyclenetwork.com.au/wp-conte</span><span class="invisible">nt/uploads/2018/11/SENSIBLE_SYDNEYRD_v4_LR.pdf</span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Brunswick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brunswick</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Coburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Coburg</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/urbanheatisland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>urbanheatisland</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/climateadaptation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climateadaptation</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/accessibletransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibletransport</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/sydneyroadrevitalization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sydneyroadrevitalization</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/coburgrevitalisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coburgrevitalisation</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a></p>
