Faith and Val are joined in the studio by Yarra resident Liz Honey. After sharing our bike moments we take a look at some news including; New York city's plans to impose a congestion tax is approved and a call out from the Climate Action Chronicles for anyone who loves cycling, scooting. or wheeling around Yarra to take part in filming December 3rd & 4th and showcase sustainable living and transport in Yarra. (Contact Nick Jackson [email protected] if you're keen), and an update on the Streets People Love website where you can now see elected candidates. Discussion turns to the first Council meeting of the new term and the omnibus motion on the agenda Tuesday November 26th at 6:30pm This motion contains thirty-six items of disparate nature, many of which seem to fail to undertand previous reports or council decisions. Besides the issues raised by the nature of an omnibus motion itself (many of which are covered at the Victorian Local Governance Association podcast) there are several items included which will concern residnets interested in sustainable or active transport in Yarra.Liz Honey discusses her concerns, particularly around the Elizabeth Street bike lanes and the Charlotte Street park as well as the current Coppin Street trial. As a resident who uses her bicycle to replace many local car trips she is concerned that Council might not be able to meet the demands of the changes coming for Yarra. To read details about each of the items in the motion that will affect active transport and find out how you can make a statement or question to Council check out this precis here. Note, ALL QUESTIONS AND STATEMENTS TO COUNCIL MUST BE REGISTERED BY 6:30 pm MONDAY 25TH NOVEMBER.
