Tall corn flowering outside the Town Hall, reading @Library_Vic in the company of others, woman dancing at the tram stop, lunch time queues, many homeless people too. Life in our city, Melbourne.

Many SUV’s are too wide for existing European city streets. They have worse vision and are more deadly when crashing into pedestrians and cyclists and their tyres produce more small-particle pollution. All good reasons to limit their use in inner cities. ft.com/content/6375081b-a3d9…

Swanston St almost kissing canopy shade (a la @BrentToderian) whereas Smith St searing. No trees. Tram passengers huddled in the shade of a shop. #tramstops

In our new paper in @Transport_ELS, we interviewed 40 potential bike riders across Melbourne. We found need for a connected network of protected infrastructure and slow speeds (30km/h) to support more trips by bike. Available Open Access here: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Such a fine, friendly 'Good morning everyone' (rather than the cold 'customers') for the 8.00 am Mernda Service from Flinders St. As well as helpful travel information clearly given. @metrotrains #FlindersSt station.
