Hi all,<br>
<div class="moz-forward-container"> <br>
The proposed Copehagen lanes for Wellington Street, Collingwood
will be discussed at the next Yarra Council meeting. <br>
<ul>
<li>6.30pm, First Floor, Tuesday 19 February 2013, Richmond Town
Hall (333 Bridge Road, Richmond)<br>
</li>
</ul>
Many of you would be aware of the issues that have been raised for
and against this infrastructure and no doubt some of you could
have attended the 18 September 2012 council meeting where public
submissions were discussed at length.<br>
<br>
This proposal is vitaly important for sustainable transport
intiatives, not only for cyclists, but also for the future of
implementing the Yarra Bicycle Strategy 2010–2015:<br>

issue progresses.<br>

submission during Public Question time. <br>
