Karen Hovenga talks about keeping Yarra's streets safe

منذ 8 weeks

On this weeks program Chris catches up with Karen Hovenga to talk about local Yarra issues, including what the new council maybe planning for narrowing protected bikes lanes in Elizabeth Street, whatever the future holds for intersection treatments at Coppin Street in Richmond and direct quote from petition linked below: "continue to implement Yarra’s Transport Action Plan 2024-2034 including the New Deal for Schools, New Deal for Cycling, New Deal for Walking and other specified programs to meet the ambitious targets in Yarra's Transport Strategy 2022-32" Local news includes call-outs for assistance from Bite Sized Rides and Bike Rave Melbourne.Karen talks about how several generations of her family easily use the Elizabeth Street protected lanes, their connection to City of Melbourne's Albert Street protected lanes that creates a vital east-west route, being able to ride plenty of short trips to local destinations but decision-makers being unable to vote on equitable transport solutions for anything other than cars. We comment upon how successive generations build upon road safety improvements, in reference to Janet McCalman’s award-winning classic ‘Struggletown, Public and Private Life in Richmond 1900-1965’ which included horrifying road fatalities statistics of the post war era, where thirty people died on Richmond roads in April 1949.Coming up at the end of the month is Critical Mass Yarra: Friday 31 January 2025, meet 5.30pm, Friday 31 January 2025, State Library, Swanston Street, naarm, Melbourne.

Developed by Victoria's Road Safety Partners, the plan includes some subtle changes in language and otherwise that may prove significant for active transport in Melbourne and Victoria. The Age has included in a recent story on Victoria's road toll over the past 15 years a handy infographic that can be filtered by suburb and shows the impact of t he road toll on different road users, pedestrians, cyclsists and others, over the last. fifteen years. Take a look at Victoria's Road toll by the numbers. Discussion turns to the Petal Project and the report Unlocking young women’s access to bike-riding relesed late last year. Lauren explains how the project came about, the complexity of travel for young women, of their choices with repect to different modes and how considerations of these issues hasn't traditionally been a part of the provision of transport infrastrcuture. With so much left to unpack when we run out of time we decide we will need to have Lauren back on the program soon to look at the solutions and interventions particpants in the project came up with for many of the issues raised during the course of research.…
