Darebin lack of cycling funding

Suzanne Robson. 14 Dec 10. Darebin lack of cycling funding wheel setback. The Preston Leader.

Highlights a lack of funding for new cycle infrastructure in Darebin, northern suburbs of Melbourne. Darebin has made some uninspired decisions in recent years and there is a lot of lazy infrastructure planning - more white lines, rather than tackling dangerous spots and pinch points that are heavily used by cyclists. I have highlighted some of these on this site.

Update 2011 New Darebin cycling strategy being developed. Some community input. Let us hope it redresses the lethal spots like the High Street to Clifton Hill bridge over the Merri Creek.
