<p>Our friends at Streets Alive Yarra support support the proposed
trials:</p>
<a
href="https://streets-alive-yarra.org/journal/covid-19-response-trials/">https://streets-alive-yarra.org/journal/covid-19-response-trials/</a>
<p><i>"The key point is to build a culture of trials to enable
residents to experience what it will be like. It’s a new type of
community engagement. We expect that most people will end up
supporting the treatments, once they’ve had a chance to see them
and test them.</i><i> Even better, we expect that improving
infrastructure for people who walk and cycle will bring benefits
for people who drive, because it reduce the number of cars on
the road. It’s a win-win, both for public health and for the
liveability of our city.</i><i> We applaud the report and urge
Councillors to proceed with the implementation of the proposed
COVID-19 response trials"</i></p>
