Thank you to everyone who has made a donation to help keep 3CR and the Yarra BUG Radio Show on the air for another year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John gives us a history lesson on the Upfield transport corridor, the new pressures on the corridor with Melbourne&#8217;s growth in the north and the failure of succesive governments to plan, or build, for this growth. The Upfield shared path plays a pivotal role in relieving congestion and moving both pedestrians and cyclists along the Upfield Corridor and John explains how the Level Crossing Removal Project have failed to take into account existing active transport numbers at the revamped stations in their released design. With poor communications from LXRP, drawings with little information, and no active transport data included in their documentation, the project looks like it may well compromise active travel in Moreland even further, rather than enhance it.&nbsp; Stay up to date with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/upfieldbikepath.wordpress.com\/2019\/06\/12\/pretty-pictures-with-little-substance-unveiled-at-coburg-station-level-crossing-removal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">campaign here<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/ExtendUpfieldBikePath\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_5170\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-3273-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/audio.3cr.org.au\/3cr\/yarrabug\/2019\/05\/20\/1000\/201905201000_yarrabug_64.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/audio.3cr.org.au\/3cr\/yarrabug\/2019\/05\/20\/1000\/201905201000_yarrabug_64.mp3\">https:\/\/audio.3cr.org.au\/3cr\/yarrabug\/2019\/05\/20\/1000\/201905201000_yarrabug_64.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/audio.3cr.org.au\/3cr\/yarrabug\/2019\/05\/20\/1000\/201905201000_yarrabug_64.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"201905201000_yarrabug_64.mp3\">Download<\/a> (Duration: 29:20 &#8212; 26.9MB) | <a href=\"#\" class=\"powerpress_link_e\" title=\"Embed\" onclick=\"return powerpress_show_embed('3273-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Embed<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_embed_box\" id=\"powerpress_embed_3273-podcast\" style=\"display: none;\"><input id=\"powerpress_embed_3273-podcast_t\" type=\"text\" value=\"&lt;iframe width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;30&quot; src=&quot;https:\/\/www.yarrabug.org\/radio\/?powerpress_embed=3273-podcast&amp;amp;powerpress_player=mediaelement-audio&quot; title=&quot;Blubrry Podcast Player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;\/iframe&gt;\" onclick=\"javascript: this.select();\" onfocus=\"javascript: this.select();\" style=\"width: 70%;\" readOnly><\/p><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pretty Pictures on the Upfield Level Crossing Removal Project but where will the cyclists go: Val takes to the studio on this gorgeous winter morning, manfully soldiering on alone while Faith sits at home and waits for whitegoods that never&#8230; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yarrabug.org\/radio\/2019\/06\/10\/yarrabug-radio-show-547-monday-10th-june-2019\/\">Continue Reading &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-podcast","category-show-summary"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6Ksuk-QN","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5089,"url":"https:\/\/www.yarrabug.org\/radio\/2026\/03\/30\/yarrabug-radio-show-894-monday-30th-march-2026\/","url_meta":{"origin":3273,"position":0},"title":"YarraBUG Radio Show #894 Monday 30th March 2026","author":"admin","date":"30 March 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Curtis Hattton of Bike Rave Melbourne in the studio at 3CR for Yarra BUG Radio Raving about Bike Rave Melbourne!: Faith and Val are joined in the studio by Curtis Hatton of Bike Rave Melbourne.
