Q10: Please list at least one project or initiative that you will actively support to improve cycling in your ward.
My number one priority is a dedicated off road shared path along Sherwood connecting Oxley Rd at Sherwood with the Tarragindi Bikeway in Moorooka to facilitate a safe east west connection where there are no footpaths at all in a busy residential, community and commercial precinct. I am also a huge supporter of Council’s Active School Travel programme which encourages cycling among other forms of public and active transport and plan to keep working with local schools and parents.
Q11: Any other comments you would like to make
I have read the Coroner’s report in to Rebekka Meyer’s death and believe there are some good recommendations for Council and the State Government to action. I strongly support the provision of dedicated off road shared pathways where possible. Finally, I would support 40kms in hour in quiet residential streets, in consultation with residents, but not 30kms.
