The Big Item here is The Closure of Swanston Street...making it a thoroughfare for trams, cyclists and pedestrians with some vehicular exceptions).

Residents 3000 is supportive of Council’s plans and proposals, the only concern being the ‘mix’ of cyclists and pedestrians .Cyclists will not be affected by car doors being unexpectedly opened in their path, but will they….ride on the footpaths, ride against pedestrian traffic and tram traffic, ride across pedestrian crossings and ignore traffic lights? We hope not, but our “walkers” constantly complain.

So please, cyclists, forget the “short cut” and take the “right cut” when you traverse Swanston Street, and we shall all be happy. And Peds, please observe the code too…no stepping out onto cycle paths, jay walking and taking your off-leash dogs out on the road. (Oh, we forgot, but you didn’t, did you? Your poop-scoop!)
