Hi Chris, can you please report on the City of Yarra narrowing their bike lanes. Mayor Jolly was extremely disrespectful and racist to members of the public. Would appreciate it if you could have a look at this. Here are some time stamps since it was a long meeting. 39 minute mark: community submissions begin. 2 hour and 52 min mark: Cr Wade moves the officer recommendation to keep the lanes as they are, and complete permanent designs including trees, etc. Cr Crossland and McKenzie vote with Cr Wade. 3 hour mark: the vibe shifts, the mood is aggressive and hostile comments.
