@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.

in this case, the road alignment is also designed to allow freight trains to bypass inner Melbourne

As disappointing as it is that this is necessary, it's also wonderful to see the amount of support from the community.

It's interesting that males are more likely to drive to the CBD, as I often hear that public transport is "unsafe" for women (usually in the context of opposing more funding)

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.

And the location of these newly built houses. We're not going to solve the housing crisis by forcing people to live 50+ kilometres from the city centre

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"

Based on this diagram, either MARL or Melton line would have to open at the same time as Sunshine station otherwise Tottenham would become inaccessible. Given the government's previous statements that MARL will open no sooner than 2033 it's unclear what this means.

SRL will boost local businesses. Just another reason to support more housing where people want to live.

In Cheltenham, views are mixed on the high-rise future flagged in Suburban Rail Loop plans

Ms Ann-Thomas reckoned further development like the SRL and its associated high-rise towers could benefit her business.

"Business will be good. That's a lot of bodies in the 18 storeys, so that's a lot of wallets," she said.

Not to mention the many examples of level crossings being closed outright

Anyone who says LXRP only benefits motorists is clearly ignorant

- DDA compliance at new stations
- climate controlled waiting rooms
- new/upgraded cycling paths
