LILIANA CARRANZA ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Greens. Liliana supports the implementation of the active tranport elements of the Integrated Transport Strategy. In response to our question about how to get from Tennyson St shops to the beach using active transport with a 10 year old, Liliana has some good ideas about how to improve the route for walkers: We'd follow the canal down across glenhuntly road to wave st/ beach ave. At glen huntly road we would think how it might be very useful and safe to put a crossing where it crosses the canal and everyone jaywalks anyway because they want to continue following the path of the canal.” More information
JANET DE SILVA ⭐⭐⭐⭐
People Empowering Port Phillip (PEPP). Janet support the items that improve active transport from the Integrated Transport Strategy. For specific improvements to transport in the Elwood ward, she notes: [The Elwood canal] bike path lacks proper signage - many walkers are unaware that they are on a shared bike path, which can lead to safety issues. Appropriate signage would help both cyclists and walkers safely share the canal trail. “ She also says: “We need a clear bike path - shared or otherwise - through Elwood. Considering that most rides are reasonably narrow, it's important to use the wider streets, including Tennyson st, St Kilda St, Broadway and Mitford.” Janet hasn’t shared any personal advocacy history.
