Best cycleway ever!!
Great to see the Liverpool & Oxford Sts can cycleway open to the public & in use.
A game changer to re-engineer such a major city artery, with plenty of buses, to accommodate a cycleway.
Bravo @clovermoore.bsky.social #jessmiller & @cityofsydney team

Great to be involved in this . Now just need to connect to Oxford st East
New bus stop along modified Oxford St up & running (cycleway not yet open).
Still leaves 5 lanes of traffic & for bus lane.
More space for pedestrians too, but could have some more shelter
Bravo @cityofsydney & @CloverMoore
New paradigm of a main street

Great news for Inner West residents. Due to extensive advocacy from Bicycle NSW, the Victoria Road pedestrian and cycling underpass has reopened.

For anyone seeking to understand how we’ve ended up with a huge affordability issue in housing and what the [contentious] destination is to redress it, this interview between @murpharoo and @AlanKohler is well worth 30 minutes of your time. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

While sure he was good at winning Vic elections against useless Lib opposition, Dan Andrews’ urban policies pretty weak;
-Fisherman’s Bend?
-Southbank?
-Apple Store in Fed Sq?
-Loop railway too far out, but no airport rail?
-Demo all inner city public housing?
-Motorwaymania

Speculation of a terrace strata sub-division. 1,000s within Sydney LGAs. Many occupied by empty nesters. Simple strata sub-division enables 2 smaller dwellings within. Upper apt.access via external stair. Reversible. Class 2 hybrid!! @Constructionedg

A nice change from the over designed playgrounds that adults typically like (and government agencies commission)

Well if only they did update streetscapes but granny flats typically destroy backyard landscapes for a feeble density increase that will not solve the housing issue. Love your work and aspirations but we need more landscape and denser streetscapes #YIMS
"Giving residents the right to build granny flats without a planning permit rides roughshod over community concerns and could irreversibly change streetscapes"
City of Boroondara takes a stand against common sense.

Victoria Rd comes to mind….
Yet again, promises of reduced surface traffic used to justify motorway projects are no longer possible, because of *traffic modelling”. But one more road (Western Harbour Tunnel) might fix it!
