Or maybe it’s more like “strike while the iron is hot”. Either way, the point, as Space For Cycling have said, is that with the new casino is pretty much finished, there should be no excuse for not going ahead with the completion of the George St bikeway in the CBD which was always meant to run its full length.
As such, there’s a petition on the BCC website here to try to convince those with the power and the pennies that it’s a really good idea (which it is). So please get clicking and add your name to the list. It’s really quick and really well worth it. Petition closes Sunday, 20th October, 2024.
EDIT: While we’re at it, there’s a heap of other bikeway upgrades that need doing in this great town so we may as well ask for some more. S4C have also put these up if you’re keen.
O’Connell Tce at Bowen Hills has been a dangerous and a pain in the butt for long time so now would be a great idea to put a bikeway in especially seeing as though there’s new multi-story parking in the RNA. Sign here.
Sugarmill Rd at Pinkenba is another linkup that looks like a good idea to ride down from Eagle Farm on a map until you see how dangerous it can be in real life. It would be great to make that safer for bikes too. Sign here.
See you out there sometime.
