Submissions are due 9 May.
I encourage everyone to make a submission, even if it's just a quick email (georgestredfern@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au) to say you support the proposals.
We don't want the submissions against outnumbering the ones for....

Ptooie, just make it 30 K and speed hump it to death, with bike bypasses, and a few road closures,and it will be brilliant without bidis. Give the newbies a chance to learn some onroad skills. Be an interesting experiment anyway to try an onroad treatment. It would be cheap,and could always change if it was thought necessary.

"I support the proposals, thank you.
I’d prefer an on road solution with 30km/h limits and camera+bump+bollard enforcement but understand the RMS’ obsession with maintaining our city streets as motorways precludes this.
Introducing pollution monitoring especially of cancer producing particulates is also something that ought to be done. Clearly CoS would be duty bound to close the street to motor traffic while unsafe pollutant levels exist."

I have drafted a 4 page reply covering implementation details that they get wrong, some of which is inherent in bidi.
I would prefer they experimented with a bike boulevard with large scale paint treatments given they have bi-di elsewhere.

yeah will do. its written, just requires editing 3x to remove pet subject ranting.
I'd prefer to get the points across before anything is built though, as the council will be immobile as usual once built.

Yes, please share, it's a great way to stimulate the discussion and get more ideas together.

"so the only option...is an over engineered and expensive bidi"
Nice to see it admitted.
But maybe RMS would consider something simpler, now that Govt is against separated cycleways.
I believe less confident riders will soon learn to be more confident on properly done traffic calmed streets. Short sections ofcycleway might be needed at major problem points. CoS does say somewhere that only 50 km of the 400km planned routes will be separated, so this would seem to be one route where on road treatments might be
considered.

I have the plan documents on my desk and will be going through them as soon as I have a free moment.
Just wanted to bump this to the top.
If you have an opinion, here is your chance to use it folks.
