Still no urgency to create #SpaceForHealth in Brisbane, although there have been some more positive messages. We talk eScooters and Micro Mobility, plus bikes on ferries. Another intersection “upgrade” sidelines active transport. Around the suburbs we head to Bracken Ridge, Kangaroo Point, and Tarragindi.

Council hinted we might be closer to protected bikeways in the CBD. Maybe. But as Melbourne and Sydney get serious about cycling through the coronavirus recovery, Brisbane urgently needs a plan, so we’ve proposed high-value, low-friction links to tackle inner city congestion. We discuss cycle commuting (in any weather) to work and school, and how seniors benefit too.

This week: a win for advocacy as the Jim Soorley Bikeway stays open. Council says no to urgent #SpaceForHealth but Brisbane people are still keen to ride. The Courier Mail gets nasty, but there’s better coverage in other media. We update on green bridges, the Veloway, and news from the suburbs.

Council is back in session, but we’re disappointed and increasingly alarmed at Brisbane’s non-response to COVID-19 as business and schools start to come back. We have some good news stories though. Around the suburbs we visit Bellbowrie, Tarragindi, Norman Park, Coorparoo, Wakerley and Dutton Park, and update on the Jim Soorley Bikeway, North Brisbane Bikeway, and V1 Veloway.

Bikeways around Brisbane are still busy, and the national campaign for #SpaceForHealth is gathering momentum. Around the world it almost feels as though the tyranny of cars might be coming to an end, but will Brisbane be left behind stuck in traffic? In local news we revisit Dutton Park and the Jim Soorley Bikeway, and report some long-awaited good news from Norman Park.
