Look at this fantastic proposal for Barkley Street, West Footscray. Nearly 1km of new protected bike lanes!

And hey, the train line has a buffer! I wonder how long that's been there. Surely it predates the new bike lanes project

We get one of those quirky footpath sections like on Park Street in South Melbourne.

Lowlight is this comically tiny bike lane across the Moonee Ponds Creek (which I understand is soon to become a single lane with sharrows)

The highlight is of course the relief of getting a good, wide bike lane in the reworked section. Could do with a bit of a sweep though.

Part 1 of Melbourne's Greenline linear park opened today!

More of a revamp of Birrarung Marr than a new park. It nicely creates new public spaces using boardwalks that directly overlook the river, separate from the thoroughfare. The green part is a work in progress as most plants are still young.

2 million with a big bike logo in the Boroondara 2025-26 budget looks promising until you realise that it's 90% just regular footpath repairs.

The separate $104,564 for "Bicycle Strategy Implementation" is more exciting but sadly not a lot of money.
