Streets People Love & Port Phillip BUG


Listen Later

Faith and Val are joined in the studio on yet another epically windy morning by Mathieu Cadet of Port Phillip Bicycle User Group. We all share our bike moments, before taking a quick look at some news including an update on the La Trobe Street bike lane which appears to have re-opened and the start of Women's Health Week. After the break discussion turns to Port Phillip BUG and why they have joined the Streets People Love campaign. Streets People Love is a statewide campaign supporting and promoting the efforts of local government to create safe and pleasant streets for people to live, work, play and move in.  Mathieu fills us in why it is so important that residents in Port Phillip think about the candidates they will vote for at upcoming Council elections and how he believed Streets People Love will help them to do this with respect to their support for the safe streets residnets often say they want. The recent state government report for the Port Phillip covid pop-up bike lanes showed overwhelming support for the lanes and not only an increase in ridership but a significant reduction in vehicle traffic, and yet these outcomes aren't finding support at the Council level. We finish up with a quick reminder about the next Critical Mass ride on September 26th, - heading up Sydney Road!
