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? - 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? - and of course, anything relevant you'd like to add! -- Listen to Yarra Bicycle Users Group Radio Every Monday morning 10am on 3CR 855AM Community Radio web | facebook | twitter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
