Bike routes in the CBD

Plan for article:
  • City of Melbourne applied via VicRoads for a 40km/h speed limit in the CBD.  This was knocked back by the Labor Government Minister for Roads.  30km/h would be more appropriate.
  • explore CoM bicycle plan comment "space not available"
  • State Bicycle Plan - Latrobe St, William St physically separated bike lanes?
  • Need: Bourke St lanes joined through the Mall and the superstops (if Swanston St superstops can have bikelanes, why not Bourke St?)
  • Need: Flinders St bike lanes.
  • This will give a grid: 
  • Nth/Sth: William, Swanston, Spring
  • E/W: Flinders, Bourke, LaTrobe
  • Northbank floating path: would it be a very expensive recreational white elephant?  Doesn't connect with the CBD in enough places, therefore doesn't help bicycle movement to destinations within the CBD.  Flinders St lanes much more economical.
