Nicer Wellingon Street + What is pop up infrastructure? Image: supplied<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Creating a nicer Wellington Street + Adelaide pop-up bike lanes<\/a>: on this weeks program we’re doing a hour long program as a treat with two interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up: Chris catches up with Erin and Liam from the Nicer Wellington Street<\/a> crew about advocating for a leafier, quieter, and safer Wellington Street<\/a> for everyone in the week before a crucial vote at the next Yarra Council Meeting on 12 May 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erin and Liam discuss supporting Option 1 for both Wellington Street – South<\/a> and Wellington Street – North<\/a>, building community support in Clifton Hill and Collingwood, with over 900 names in support, improving canopy cover, road design, improving resident amenity, parking issues, writing to councillors, Yarra receiving $3m per year from Congestion Levy for active transport projects<\/a>, and challenging confusion and misinformation, including cross street traffic fears and that the north section of Wellington Street could be closed to local traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second chat: Cr Eleanor Freeman<\/a> from City of Adelaide talks about a recent feasibility assessment to create pop up bike lanes<\/a> due to Australia’s ongoing fuel crises<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eleanor discusses creating safe conditions for new and intending riders, keeping the city open, working on network gaps, new cycling strategy as part of City of Adelaide Integrated Climate Strategy 2030<\/a> and working towards a more strategic approach with South Australia state government (Party leader backs pop-up bikeways in Adelaide CBD<\/a>, Pop-up bike lanes mooted for Adelaide streets<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

News includes Alphington Link to be completed<\/a> due to state government implementing the Transport Integration Act so that 120m of shared trail can finally be constructed after a insane 37 year wait, Ride & Stride e-bike subsidies for Merri-bek families<\/a>, a fabulous BikeRave Melbourne ride<\/a> on the weekend just gone, Critical Mass on 29 May 2026<\/a>, Maribynong Council investigating a pop up bike lane program<\/a> and Sydney Road issues due to looming Level Crossing works<\/a>. (The 9km corridor that\u2019s recorded 279 cyclist crashes but still doesn\u2019t have a protected bike lane<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
