December 2024, Part 2 - in this newsletter
This weeks newsletter includes a reminder about making your feedback to Coppin Street pop up bike lane treatments and Yarra Council Plan 2025-29, both consultations close on 9am this Monday 16 December, scroll down below for links.
 At this weeks Yarra Council Ordinary Meeting: 17 December 2024, the agenda includes Item 7.2. – E-scooter Update, (starts on page 36) which while not strictly bicycle-related, is a form of popular low emissions transport in the inner suburbs.
What do you think of the geo-fencing suggestion to exclude narrow footpaths?
A good move or should council consider on-road parking bays or other ideas for public e-bike and e-scooter providers to keep footpaths clear for everyone who need to use them?
Or by excluding narrow footpaths and no other parking provision, will this mean Yarra Council could ban public e-bike and e-scooter by stealth?
 Please register here you'd like to speak to the item about e-scooters on Tuesday evening, speaking to an item on a council agenda isn't part of public question time, so plan ahead and allow at least hour or so if you go to the meeting.
You can also contact councillors about your concerns.
