Will this be recorded?

Whereabouts is the new one?

I feel like I’ve just seen a ghost

I support this because it would make the worst people mad

I know this genre of post is overdone but - half hourly trains while the sun is still up really throws me every summer.

All very confusing as LXRP were saying that that was prohibitively expensive due to a large water main near the surface. Council took over delivery and managed it in the same funding envelope apparently, so who knows.

Secret third option where they moved the kerb and kept both the trees and the car parks

Oh yeah, the money and impetus for this came from the Glen Huntly level crossing removal.

Little hard to see, but this is the intersection at Neerim Road at the south end.

Perfectly safe, but kind of inconvenient because you have to cross two legs of the intersection.

Overall, I’m glad this got built. There was a very real chance the entire thing would have been canned after the earlier controversy. This was the only major piece of bike infrastructure built in Glen Eira by the last council – hoping for more in the next few years. /end

The bike path ends and becomes an on road lane at the north end of Queens Avenue at the intersection with Normanby Road. The image is annotated to show Caulfield Station is to the left, a short way down Normanby Road, and the Djerring Trail begins a short way north of the image. There is no safe bike connection to either.

Travelling south, to transition onto the bike path a rider has to stop in the on road bike lane on the left side of the road and cross the right. People on bikes are required to give way to cars.

Bad stuff – the path abruptly ends just short of Caulfield Station, the Monash Uni campus and the beginning of to the Djerring Trail. We’re told another project is in the works to fix this, but who knows when that will happen. 6/

A crossover allows access to the bike path at the intersection with Lord Street

Good stuff –The wide bi-directional path is quite comfortable. Crossovers at every side street means people can easily access the path (something that tends to get forgotten on similar paths elsewhere). 5 /

An annotated map showing that the new path connects the existing Frankston Line bike path in the south and Djerring Trail in the north.

Queens Avenue is an important link between Glen Huntly and Caulfield – the new path almost (foreshadowing) connects existing paths along the Dandenong and Frankston rail lines 4/

Looking north along the Queens Avenue bike path. A street sign to the left of the path shows a 50kph speed limit, with a 'new limit' and a 'bikes only' sign below.

But after much delay and consultation, the whole 800m path was constructed in about a month! Really shows you how quickly things can move once a decision is made. Speed limit has also dropped from 60 to 50 to accommodate narrower traffic lanes 3/

Council flips on state government as Caulfield tree war takes root Glen Eira City Council says it can no longer back plans to raze more than 250 trees as part of a bike-path upgrade on the boundary of Caulfield Racecourse.

The original proposal would have resulted in the loss of a couple of hundred trees (bad), and the alternative would have removed all on street parking (fine with me, but you can imagine how that went down) www.theage.com.au/national/vic... 2/

Looking north along Queens Avenue, Caulfield, from the intersection with Neerim Road. The new bi-directional bike path follows the road on the left hand side.

Went to visit the newly opened Queens Avenue bike path in Caulfield today, just under a year since @highcapacityhayden.bsky.social and I sat down at a community meeting for the first time. 1/

The VicRoads office where I did my driving test was right on this intersection youtu.be/h1Uxq3thyAU?...

Stuff like this is just the result of two different project managers yelling ‘out of scope’ at each other over a 10 email long thread

2020 still seems to be the most recent release. I suspect someone realised they weren’t going to meet they’re own deadline…

Oh good, more ‘market led proposals’. The last one has been going so well.

Does anyone have any insight into when they’ll release the next round of VISTA data?

I’m pretty sure the website used to say ‘late 2024’ but this seems to have disappeared recently.

I believe it’s because Clayton has the relatively arbitrary ‘premium’ designation

The Chadstone bus situation is such a debacle, especially on weekends.

Misleading map stating that ‘up to 20 stories’ is proposed 800m from Carnegie, Murrumbeena, Hughesdale and Oakleigh railway stations.

Featuring such absurdity and fear mongering as suggesting that a blanket 20 storey height limit is proposed for every activity centre

Difficult to understand what exactly has occurred from the article, but sounds like the Council doesn’t want to cover the cost of traffic management (including existing conditions studies) for what is ostensibly a private event.

And the organisers don’t want to cover that either.

To be fair, these events attract hundreds of cars to local streets which are not designed to carry the traffic or parking. Some kind of management will be necessary

The actual solution is to just close the entire block to non-resident traffic (but I doubt Bayside would support that either).

Like 3/4 of these clips should result in an instant loss of licence.

I think, for me, something that has radicalised me the most against car culture is the fact that this channel has enough material to put out a video every week

Murrumbeena Rd is a mess on weekends in particular. Would love to see a boosted 627/822, but also needs some strategic intersection treatments to keep them moving.
