[YarraBUG-list] Connex & V/Line Bicycle Bans

[Yarra Bicycle Users Group]

Hi all,

I'm contacting you as we need to get organised action happening on these 
bicycle bans.

Otherwise I envisage a lot of time, energy and potential being lost and 
the State Government getting away with more PR spin.

Here's a discussion on Melbourne Cyclist with more background, updates, 
media links etc

http://www.melbournecyclist.com/forum/topic/show?id=1684380%3ATopic%3A1417:


A couple of points:

- Should the public campaign remain as is, i.e.: concerned people 
writing seperately to the State Government, Connex & V/Line

- Or should a timeline/campaign be organised so we can maximise our 
effectiveness and outcomes?

- Should a proposed campaign keep the focus on bicycle access, or should 
we broaden the focus to include making note of improving PT access for all?

- Should a proposed campaign also include a call out to other groups who 
also share similar goals for improving PT provision?


Further action:

- Call a informal meeting so we can meet face to face and discuss our 
opinions

- For people with restrictions (ie: family, work, study, live metro, 
rural etc) , possibly a meeting via a conference call or on Skype?


Mailing list:

A public transport discussion list has been created so people can keep 
in touch. To subscribe, simply follow the 'subscribing to 
publictransport  form'

Ok all the stuff mentioned above is a pretty broad brush, your thoughts 
please?


cheers,


Chris Star
