Hello all
The minutes from last week's BAC meeting are now available at
http://www.yarracity.vic.gov.au/Your-Council/Consultative-Committees/Bicycle-Advisory-Committee/
Alistair McDonald has asked me to pass on a couple of messages:
1.*VicRoads have indicated that that they are looking at designing some
works to go into the VicRoads bid process*potentially to be delivered in
2013/14. They have identified the Brunswick/St Georges Road route to
focus most of their effort on. If anyone has any suggestions for
upgrades along this route please email Alistair McDonald on
alistair.mcdonald at yarracity.vic.gov.au
<mailto:alistair.mcdonald at yarracity.vic.gov.au>. These upgrades will
compliment the installation of early bicycle/tram/pedestrian head starts
on Brunswick St at Victoria Pde, Gertrude St, Johnston St and Alexandra
Pde, which should go operational in the coming month.
2.*VicRoads works have begun on Heidelberg Road between Merri Ck and
Queens Parade*improving the existing bicycle lane primarily with
Virbaline and works on Langridge St between Nicholson and Smith St
including green paint, Vibraline and early head starts for cyclists.
And a couple of messages from me, too:
1.There will be a *police promotion focussing on bike security* at
Citizens Park, Richmond at 10am-1pm on *23 February*. The event includes
bike engraving, promotion on bike security, and community safety
promotion. Yarra will provide TravelSmart maps and reflective anklebands
courtesy of RSAGIM (Road Safety Action Group Inner Melbourne).
2.*Ride2School Day*is just over a month away on *23 March*. By way of
incentive, Yarra is offering 30+ complimentary Family Swim Passes to
Yarra's leisure centres to each participating school and providing a
prize for the school with the highest percentage of registrations.
Cheers and happy cycling!
