Problem being that even moderate active transport initiatives are weaponised by unintentional ignorance &/or those more invested in wedge politics. Possible strategy is bringing people along then elect better leaders. By the way, we're far away from ever giving up in Yarra.

Victoria spends billions each year on transport infrastructure. Dedicating just 5% to Strategic Cycling Corridors would give everyone more choice on how they get around school, work & shops. Enter your address to explore network near you+send email to local MP bicyclenetwork.com.au/our-advocacy...
Strategic Cycling Corridor
Ask your local MP to support dedicated funding for Strategic Cycling Corridors. It's only going to take 5 cents in the transport dollar!
