On this weeks program, Chris catches up with Julie Clutterbuck from Port Philip Bicycle Users Group about the Shrine to Sea project, their recent media release 'Community groups call for seperated bike lanes on Kerferd Road', along with The Heart Foundation, Victoria Walks, Port Phillip Emergency Climate Action Network (PECAN), Bicycle Network, Disability Resource Centre and Better Streets for Victoria and Australia.
Julie discusses the Shrine to Sea project prospectus that included seperate bike infrastructure, Kerferd Road safely issues, traffic modelling, community panel, biodiversity, local resident opposition who apparently believe they are the only stakeholders that should be listened to in regards to Kerferd Road usage, broadening conversation to local climate change concerns and a reminder how Lisa Nelville stood up to City of Greater Geelong to retain the Malop Street Green Spine.
Update 23 May 2023: Shrine to Sea Project update - unfortunately reads like Victoria State Government has completely piked due to small number of residents,
"The decision to separate the Kerferd Road protected bike lane design from the Shrine to Sea project will allow for a robust and concentrated engagement process to occur in the future"
