Latest Weekly Digest

29 Nov 2020

In Brisbane this week: e-Mobility is in, CityCycle is out. Green bridges connecting Toowong, West End and St Lucia are in; the Norman Park Ferry is out. Apparently no-one rides on Sir Fred Schonell Drive. Proof pop-up cycleways are possible in our city, but the CBD still hasn’t popped! Around the suburbs to Ransome/Wakerley, Annerley, Darra, Nundah, and Tennyson/Graceville. Break free from car addition, and have fun with custom bikes instead.

A traffic island mysteriously appears, then disappears in Chelmer. The CityLink Cycleway construction contract is signed, and the Veloway overpass at O’Keefe St is coming! Good progress at Indooroopilly and Wooloowin, but a horror show in Belmont. A black spot in St Lucia; a wrong turn at Bowen Hills; and we visit Kangaroo Point, New Farm Park, Morningside, and Rochedale; and check out the new KittyCat ferries.

15 Nov 2020

This week, Kath makes the media pointing out that the choice of safety versus convenience is not one drivers have to make each day like she does riding her bike. But there’s good news for the CBD CityLink Cycleways and the connection to Viola Place. Disruption ahead in Toowong; Mark Bailey is reappointed Minister for Transport and Main Roads; and we acknowledge the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.

8 Nov 2020

We’re all suffering post-election fatigue this week; the best cure is a bike ride! We celebrate progress on the Brisbane Bikeway, and confirmation that the next stage will head to Eagle Junction! We discuss cycling through Newstead, a new bike parking cage at Virginia Station, and efforts to quantify how cycle-friendly Brisbane is. Melbourne has just returned a bike-friendly Mayor, proving bike lanes are a politically smart policy in Australia.

1 Nov 2020

This week: Queenslanders re-elect a Labor government, and we look forward to more progress on bikeways. There’s good news for Kangaroo Point, and the Kedron Brook and Jim Soorley Bikeways. Wayfinding for the River Loop is coming soon, and a new report recommends Sunday Streets. We revisit Boggo Road, look at plans for the Indooroopilly Roundabout, and reflect on the failure of Wynnum Road.
