Gimme 5: State Election Safer Cycling Forum for Melbourne + Brunswick & future of Yarra Transport Action Plan<\/a>: On this weeks program Chris catches up with Harrison Watt, Bike Lanes for Johnston Street<\/a> about an upcoming Gimme 5! Safer Cycling Forum: Melbourne & Brunswick<\/a>, 5:30pm, 15 September 2026, The Clyde Hotel, 385 Cardigan St, Carlton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This community forum brings together locals, community groups, BUGs and state election candidates to discuss safer cycling in the seats of Melbourne & Brunswick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out upcoming Gimme 5! Roadshow events<\/a> at Fawkner Festa, Pascoe Vale & Preston, Essendon, City Square Melbourne, Bellarine, Whitehorse Spring Festival, Around the Bay in a Day and Albert Park & Caulfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local news includes Melbourne weather, Race to the Rock<\/a>, Stonnington Councils pre-trial Road Safety Improvement Program Trials survey<\/a>, be alert as Melbourne’s eternal bike thieves are stealing peoples pride and joy and a change of date for Critical Mass<\/a> to Grand Final Public Holiday Eve on Thursday 24 September. Another update is the September ride will now be an annual Will Richter<\/a> memorial ride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harrison and Chris discuss active transport issues between all three levels of government, the recent Hawthorn to Box Hill Trail community meeting<\/a>, Yarra Council proposing to descope the Yarra Transport Action Plan<\/a> on 8 September meeting<\/a> (refer to page 132) with no community consultation<\/a> despite decades of Yarra being a leader for decades for active transport<\/a>, ongoing issues for transport provision, increased forecast population<\/a> and road space allocation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No council term lasts forever so let the current Yarra Councillors<\/a> know your thoughts about the councils lack of commitment<\/a>, and now being a outlier when compared to nearby councils like Boroondara who have allocated $3 million annually for their Greenways program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
