justin Halliday ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Independent candidate. Justin has been a key part of the campaign for greening Inkerman St through increased vegetation, more pedestrian crossings, and a protected bike lane. Justin designed and advocated for the Green Link project, a walking and biodiversity route along the Sandringham rail corridor from the Yarra River to Gardenvale; has successfully secured initial funding in Port Phillip and Stonnington, and work is underway in Glen Eira. The Green Link includes some cycling aspects, where there is the opportunity for co-located on-road cycling routes (not mixing cycling and walking). He’d like to see better pedestrian crossings on Alma Rd, to improve walking. MORE INFO.
DICK GROSS ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dick Gross is a former mayor and councillor, and is often seen riding around town. As a councillor, Dick was mostly supportive of active transport, and was on Council when the excellent Integrated Transport Strategy was adopted. His key issue for this election is the poor transport planning around Fishermans Bend. “CoPP has been far too weak in advocacy. The failure of the State government to build the promised tram routes in Fishermans Bend has undermined what should be a huge housing opportunity.” He would like you to know: “I am the most prominent bike rider (apart from Janet Bolitho) that has served on Council. I ride everywhere and everyone knows that.” More info.
