Part 1 of Melbourne's Greenline linear park opened today!
More of a revamp of Birrarung Marr than a new park. It nicely creates new public spaces using boardwalks that directly overlook the river, separate from the thoroughfare. The green part is a work in progress as most plants are still young.

In preparation for new low floor trams, the State Government is proposing to replace non-accessible tram stops on route 57 with... new bigger non-accessible tram stops.😲😕😠

New 57 tram engagement proposing changes to accommodate G class trams. Includes some consolidated tram stops but lacks tram platforms for some reason. Bonus protected bike lanes proposed for Victoria and Queensberry Streets.

2 million with a big bike logo in the Boroondara 2025-26 budget looks promising until you realise that it's 90% just regular footpath repairs.
The separate $104,564 for "Bicycle Strategy Implementation" is more exciting but sadly not a lot of money.

Well, retention of the Richmond Elizabeth Street bike lanes lost the vote, meaning that they will be reduced from 2m and 2.3m to 1.5m and 1.7m. It seems unlikely that two people will be able to ride abreast or overtake now.

No other Yarra councillors knew about this amendment. And the public had no prior knowledge. Zero transparency and accountability by Stephen Jolly
Mayor Jolly's amendment is subpar while trying to remain polite. It's 'little bit different' to option 3. Another classic Stephen Jolly gaslighting exercise

Dramatic decision from the new Boroondara council to not replace the Kew library.
Arguments against the demolition: community sentiment towards the existing building, its good structural integrity, the >$20 million price tag and its larger size than the proposed building

Here's my report on Boroondara's first kerb-protected bike lane in Kew: greenlines.quarto.pub/posts/willsm....
No it's not perfect, but I'm excited about Boroondara's baby steps.
