Ripped up College St cycleway to be rebuilt again

So they build a cycleway, then the government rips it up, then another one is proposed and cancelled and now the ripped up cycleway is going to be rebuilt again?

Complete madness - double handling. Little wonder nothing ever happens in this space.

Nothing happens here
Nothing gets done
But you get to like it
You get to like the beating of the sun
The washing of the sun
In Spanish blue

The Triffids “Spanish Blue” (1982)

And a proposed Eastern Suburbs cycleway is delayed by COVID:

More like a ploy to prevent building it totally. If they were given money to build it, then they must be held to account. If they don’t deliver, then the council heads should face disciplinary action.

Rode along College St this morning & the first block of the Duncan Gay memorial bike path is almost complete

Jeezus.....hope they don't name it "Duncan Gay Memorial" that would be a stinker considering that asshat ripped the original up in the first place.
Who is responsible for which roads? If the SCC is then how can the State gove can come in to destroy a council project ? Whats the point then to have a City Council.

As much as i detested Andrew Constance for the privatisation of Sydney's bus services, at least he was somewhat in favour of cycling routes in the City.

I hope they do! I think it would be perfect, in the middle finger kind of way.

Kind of like naming your pet alligator Fluffy - because he isn't.

We're in complete agreement brumby - as trailgumby suggests I was intending as a middle finger salute - he's not dead but at least his political career is

13 minutes? Can someone summarise it in under 200 words and save me (and everyone following) 12 minutes and 45 seconds?

I didn’t watch but probably it goes 85% of the way then stops at a crucial point like they usually do.

Interesting little video.
Not overly familiar with Sydney, but getting bicycle infrastructure done correctly is usually a struggle in most places in Australia (from what I have seen)

Videos such as this are a start in the right direction I think

85% would be a good result in Sydney

Hmm, okay, I thought I was being quite critical with that comment. Evidently my expectations weren't low enough.

Your comment was spot on but Sydney is even worse

I think the replaced College st cycleway goes at least as far as the one that got ripped up

Basically runs the length of Hyde Park joining Oxford St and Macquarie St. That then joins King St which gets you to Pitt St and down to Circular Quay all on a cycleway.
