I have been amazed by the amount of cyclists and pedestrians that use this cycleway (even in bad weather conditions), probably a good example of if you build it well, people will use it. As highlighted before on this blog, the traffic lights spot you before you spot them. And it is great to cycle and hardly see any cars. Hopefully many more of these cycleways will be built in the very near future!!

Anchor projects ($150 mill++) , especially stadium and convention centre face much opposition, garner at best 50% support.

Council is committed to anchor projects.

I do hope that Council not only undermines my skepticism, but actually realises that cycling infrastructure saves money and is well supported while anchor projects will beggar the ratepayers while funneling money to a few special interests.
