</p>
<p><u>Possible submission/question suggestions:<br>
</u></p>
<p>- Will the City of Yarra support all 15 policies outlined in
the draft Moving Forward - Yarra's Transport Strategy 2022 and
it's objectives?</p>
<p>- Will the City of Yarra be bold in implementing this strategy
and not dilute it with populist-driven decisions when developing
the action plan?</p>
<p> - Will the City of Yarra provide solutions that solve issues
that stymied the City of Yarra Bike Strategy 2010 – 2015 and the
City of Yarra Bicycle Refresh 2015 so this strategy can actually
be delivered? eg: support strong council inter-agency networking
that strengthens advocacy, legislation, safety, planning,
funding and implementation between Melbourne 9 (M9), PTV,
VicRoads, Department of Transport, nearby councils, state and
federal governments?</p>
<p>- The active transport mix is rapidly changing in Yarra. Will
City of Yarra monitor the increasing use of e-bikes,
e-cargobikes, alongside ongoing e-scooter trials that clearly
illustrate people want more safe travel options?<br>
</p>
<p>- Recently released Census 2021 data illustrates that Yarra
suburbs have roughly double the Australian average for rental
properties and one of highest populations of people aged under
30, will the City of Yarra support this demographic with their
future transport choices?</p>
<p>- and of course, anything relevant you'd like to add!</p>
