This January, we’ve been talking our local MPs, Nina Taylor (MP for Albert Park) and Ryan Batchelor (upper house MP for Southern Metropolitan Region.
Nina Taylor (left) with Dan, Lorelle and Julie from PPBUG.
Both of them listened to our concerns about the immediate safety risks posed by the unprotected, door-zone lane in close proximity to heavy trucks; and about the need for a plan to make all the strategic cycling corridors fit for purpose.
Neither made any commitment to improve the situation or had any news that planning to fix these problems was underway.
Our meeting with Ryan Batchelor was in conjunction with our campaign partners Stonnington BUG and Bike Melbourne.
