Latest Weekly Digest

Updates on the Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, CityLink Cycleway, and Metro vehicles—will they take bikes? Cross River Rail impacts the North Brisbane Bikeway (Exhibition Station), Fairfield Road, and the PA Hospital Bikeway. A protected intersection is planned for Beaudesert Road, but not for Monier Road, Darra. Look who’s using the smooth new Veloway! Plus: the power of cargo bikes; EV strategy; and another rail trail to explore in regional Queensland.

12 Sep 2021

This week: the V1 Veloway gains a new section, and planning begins for a new bridge. Much needed improvements at New Farm Park begin, and a chance to meet the team behind the upcoming Kangaroo Point Green Bridge.

5 Sep 2021

This week: Council gives an update on the first two green bridges, and we welcome a new BUG to the community. A small improvement to the bikeway at East Brisbane, but a disappointing response to a petition for improvements further east at Morningside. Paris commits to 30km/h streets and a bicycle film night visits town. Our friend Brenda laments the missing connections at Brisbane Airport, and CityCycle lives on as art.

29 Aug 2021

This week: Cr Hammond joined Andrew for a ride on a new bikeway, while Sam wondered if today’s children will even remember fossil fueled cars. We check out paths in Sunnybank and Runcorn, and a major development application at Buranda. In Morningside, Council voted down improvements to Lytton Rd, but installed more floppy bollards. Also: consultation on Centenary Bridge duplication is open; the Veloway extension looks almost ready to ride; and there are changes coming to the CBD.

22 Aug 2021

This week: facing the Climate Crisis requires decarbonising transport; time to get serious. Small improvements in the CBD, but more is still needed. We’re still impatiently waiting for the North Brisbane Bikeway connection through Bowen Hills, but there’s better news from Aspley, Stafford, Bridgeman Downs, Kenmore, and Clontarf. The bad news is a narrow bridge at Geebung; $1.3million and not fit for purpose.
