#LessCarsMoreBikes
Safe, comfortable streets mean people choose to cycle - even in the rain. Just ask Amsterdam.

The current Yarra Council are rather Trump Light, they’ve talked about rolling back cycle lanes so motorists can speed a bit more shut down a fully budgeted pocket park, and are in no way working for the local community. Quite shameful. #YarraFail #LessCarsMoreBikes
Aaaand this is why I voted against the (unsubstantiated, unrecommended) fee hike.

Now people in Yarra will have less cheap, sustainable transport options in a cost of living crisis.

The program wasn't perfect, but the solutions (parking onstreet, better enforcement) weren't served by a cash grab.
E-scooter operator to pull out of Yarra after council imposes drastic fee hike
The future of e-scooters in Melbourne is increasingly under threat with Neuron announcing they will no longer operate in the City of Yarra after they copped a 400 per cent fee hike from council.

🚨 Carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels set a new monthly *record high* in May 2025 - 430.51 ppm (seasonal maximum)

This is the second largest May-May increase in this dataset (3.6 ppm higher than 2024). This is not good... 🫣

Hey Melbourne and Yarra! Are you listing? Why don't you do the same so our city isn't littered with dead bikes? It's not exactly rocket science. It will make everything more convenient and far more usable. #LessCarsMoreBikes
One of the advantages of docked bike share. They’re never where they aren’t supposed to be.

Today’s MeltFest ride included 80 riders! Slow, no-drop rides mean we get riders of all ages, all abilities. #lesscarsmorebikes

These are all obvious and everyone already is aware of these and supports these solutions, just not for their city/suburb/town. “That works for (insert somewhere else), I need my car”. Its the same stupid debate over and over
I appreciate this, but I don't think a lack of policy ideas is really the problem. We know how to push back against car-centric development. It's just that most Americans have been marinating in pro-car propaganda their entire lives & cars have made them selfish & sociopathic.

You don't have to hate cars, but you should absolutely hate forced car dependency.

This latest video from NJB breaks down the true cost of motonormativity, from subsidized sprawl and noise pollution to the physical destruction of our cities.

Designing streets for people, not just cars. Wide, accessible sidewalks, lush tree canopy and benches create inviting public space.

Flexible curb zones, narrower vehicle lanes, dedicated bus lanes and protected bike lanes improve safety and climate resilience.

We have so many useless freeways, like the Innerbelt in Akron, which runs directly through Downtown Akron and carries only 60% of the traffic that Boylston St. in Boston does. Turn it into a boulevard with housing and green space.
