I’m a member of Melbourne BUG and we’ve been part of the current campaign to improve Swanston St for cyclists. You can read our analysis of the options for the consultation (now closed) at our website http://www.melbournebug.org.

We hosted an online petition for cyclists to record their support for our preferred option and have so far gathered 223 signatories. The campaign still has a way to go, as the next step will be for Council do decide on a couple of preferred options for final consultation and decision by the end of the year.

regards, Juz
