In this episode of the Yarra BUG Radio Show Val and Faith take a look at some of the projects currently open for conultation that provide opportunities for active transport and in particular, safer cycling. 

Six draft plans for railway station precincts in the eastern phase of the Suburban Rail Loop project have been released, with active transport integration and planning for networks within 1.6kms of the stations being included. You can read more about it at Bicycle Network as well as find the link for giving feedback. The stations included are Cheltenham, Clayton, Monash, Glen Waverley, Burwood and Box Hill.

Chapel Street, Stonnington consultation is ongoing with feedback sought from those who live, work or visit Chapel Street. You can have your say on ideas so far and help inform transformation projects now and into the future.

The federal government is seeking views on the decarbonisation of all modes of transport , including freight and supply chains, active transport planning, and supporting infrastructure. We know bicycles and cargo bicycles can play a big part here so make sure you have your say on the Transport and Infrastructure Net Zero Roadmap and Action Plan. 

We also take a look at the Merri-bek Draft Transport Strategy which is out now for comnultation. Take a look and have your say before December 24th if you live, work or travel through Merri-bek. 

Coming up for those who like to leave the house once in a while; a Streets Alive Darebin meet up for anyone interested in thriving sociable streets that support all modes of movement will be held at the Wesley Anne Beer Garden on Thursday 14th December at 6:30pm. 

Merri-bek BUG will be offering FREE bike checks, and selling awesome totes together with Brunswick Tool Library at stall B28 & B29 at Coburg Night Market on Friday december 15th from 5:30pm onwards. 

That's it from us for 2023, Chris will be in the studio next week and we'll see you in the New year on January 8th!
