@darebinstreets.bsky.social Thoughts on the proposed streetscape upgrades to High St in Preston? The preferred design is excellent in terms of pedestrian amenity but woefully inadequate for cyclists, not a single proposed design was good for cyclists.

Before and after photos of the cancelled East-West Link. Comparing this to before and after photos of the North-East Link, it seems that we cancelled a bad project and built an even worse one.

Some good new statistics to counter anyone who says the LXRP "only benefits drivers".
"vehicle collisions and near misses across the network has fallen by almost 80 per cent since 2019, from an average of 11 incidents a month to just two incidents a month last year"

Increased supply improving conditions for Canberra renters
Compared with other major cities, Canberra's rental market was "quite flat" over the past year, with rents increasing by only $20 a week. That might be good news for renters.

50c fares won't meaningfully shift people away from driving.
I drive to uni. $10 parking vs $5 train fare.
Driving is twice as fast as the train. Even if fares were free, I'd pay 10 dollars to save an hour per day.
If the train was competitive with driving, I'd even pay a higher fare.

Rosanna station was rebuilt in 2018 as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project. They also installed 1km of off-road shared use path. The problem is, the path doesn't go anywhere.

Every time I ride my bike to work I have to make a decision:
Do I take the faster, more direct route along dangerous roads?
Or do I take the longer, less direct route through back streets?
Either way, I lose.
