Cr Danita Parry has informed the @cbdbug.bsky.social that
Brisbane City Council has no timeline to replace the plastic barriers on the CBD CityLink cycleway despite fellow LNP councillor, Cr Murphy previously stating in 2022 they would be replaced with concrete!

Is it any wonder that generally people believe one more road will solve traffic congestion with click bait titles like this.
The fact is investing in fast, frequent & reliable public transport and active transport is the only way to solve congestion but that is not "click bait".

Last month Brisbane City Council posted this clip of road resurfacing works. What is plainly clear is the dilapidated state that BCC is currently letting road surfaces get before they are doing work. The road surface is clearly a fall hazard to people on bikes with pot holes!

We are pleased to hear from the Lord Mayor that the other Story Bridge shared path is reopening. What continues to be not be explained is how the LNP - Liberal National Party controlled council allowed the state of the paths to degrade to such a state they were no longer safe.

In space conscious Japan they have underground automated secure bike storage.
No reason why Brisbane could not do the same at multiples locations.

After allowing the structural safety of the Story Bridge shared paths to degrade to such a condition they were no longer safe, it is positive to hear from Lord Mayor Schrinner that one path with the temporary surface will be open to foot & bike traffic before the end of the year.

Brisbane City Council is yet to grant development approval to HSW's proposed changes to the site.
The CBD BUG has submitted an additional submission relating to the latest round of documents.
The proposed path remains non-compliant with TMR & Austroads guidelines.

It is good to hear that the Story Bridge paths are receiving a new temporary surface for reopening.
This new path surface is only temporary or as 9 News Queensland described it, only a "band aid" solution as the existing path surface below will remain & continue to degrade.

Beware of doors
Recently one of our followers was a victim of a dooring. Please be careful when riding past parked cars. It is very difficult to see whether or not a vehicle is occupied and a door can swing open at anytime.
If possible, please remember to ride clear of parked cars.

With the opening of Sydney's Oxford St Cycleway, Lord Mayor Clover Moore proves what a pollie with courage and conviction can achieve.
This is once again a reminder of how little progress Brisbane City Council made in recent times when compared with
City of Sydney!

As part of HSW application to change the site it is argued HSW doesn't need to upgrade the existing shared use path to segregated path as they will provide an unobstructed 6m wide shared use path.
This is how the existing shared use path was being used this morning!

Will the local councillor Vicki Howard speak up for a better path or remain silent?
