Kim Samiotis— The Greens.

Do you support separated cycling lanes on St Kilda Rd? YES.

Do you support upgrading the strategic cycling corridors to separated bike lanes? YES.

Other policies: I'm proud to say that The Greens have committed $2.5 billion dollars over the next four years to our Big Bike Build with hundreds of kilometres of safe, separated bike superhighways that will cut emissions, improve safety and make it easier for people to get around. We know that the best way to encourage active transport is to invest in separated and safe bike lanes protecting riders, drivers and pedestrians and encouraging more cyclists to get around our beautiful precincts for leisure, errands, commuting and fitness. I look forward to working with my Greens colleagues and other members of parliament to implement our Big Bike Build plans to the benefit of Albert Park cyclists.
