<font size="-1">Hi all,<br>
<br>
Last Tuesday 19 November 2013, the long planned for Wellington St
lanes hit opposition at Yarra Council, please read below (scroll
down) for Wellington Street Copenhagen Bicycle Lane Council
Resolution.<br>
<br>
We need people to attend the next Yarra Council meeting on 17
December 2013 to show the huge support this proposed lane has with
the local community, so be prepared to make your views known
during Public Question Time, bring all your friends and banners or
signage ;)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Council considered the report on the
Wellington Street Advisory Group recommendations on Tuesday 19
November 2013. A copy of the report is attached, and outlines
the mitigation actions proposed by the Wellington Street
Advisory Group and Council officers’ comments on the proposed
actions. Most of the actions proposed by the Wellington
Street Advisory Group were supported by council officers with
two exceptions, which did not conform with current Council
policies. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The officer recommendations proposed in the
report were considered by Council, but were not passed. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An alternative resolution was proposed and
carried, which has been attached: <i>“That a further report
on this matter be brought back to the 17 December Council
meeting outlining the consequences for the Bicycle Strategy
of not proceeding with the Wellington Street Copenhagen
lanes at this time.”</i><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Further information on the December Council
report will be provided closer to the date. It is expected
