Brisbane could be on this list if our pollies stopped looking for excuses and focused on solutions.

While Brisbane's pollies love to talk about planning for protected bike lanes other cities are doing it! As the saying goes it's not what you say but what you do!

There are concerns that the speed humps on the shared path through Howard Smith Wharves does not comply with the Australian Disability Discrimination Act and the relevant Australian Standard AS1428.1. Please sign petition so BCC investigates. www.epetitions.brisbane.qld.gov.au/petition/view/pid/1494

Cr Danita Parry has informed the @cbdbug.bsky.social that Brisbane City Council has no timeline to replace the plastic barriers on the CBD CityLink cycleway despite fellow LNP councillor, Cr Murphy previously stating in 2022 they would be replaced with concrete!

Is it any wonder that generally people believe one more road will solve traffic congestion with click bait titles like this. The fact is investing in fast, frequent & reliable public transport and active transport is the only way to solve congestion but that is not "click bait".

Last month Brisbane City Council posted this clip of road resurfacing works. What is plainly clear is the dilapidated state that BCC is currently letting road surfaces get before they are doing work. The road surface is clearly a fall hazard to people on bikes with pot holes!

We are pleased to hear from the Lord Mayor that the other Story Bridge shared path is reopening. What continues to be not be explained is how the LNP - Liberal National Party controlled council allowed the state of the paths to degrade to such a state they were no longer safe.

Brissy pollies love to talk about road projects being "congestion busting" but the opposite is true. More roads = more congestion eg LA Seoul removed a freeway and not only got a river back but reduced congestion!

Woohoo! Confirmation from Brisbane City Council (via the media) one footpath on the Story Bridge will be open again tomorrow (Friday)! Council are now saying "The latest expert advice confirmed the footpaths could last another two to five years”. Then why close both footpaths with no notice?

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 02/10/2025

In this article by Felicity Caldwell of @brisbanetimes.bsky.social , Cr Wines claims that BCC has spent more than a "billion" on active transport infrastructure but the question is was all of it council funds? Many BCC have been co funded by the State or Federal Government!

Remember when Brisbane had CityCycle? It could of been a success, but the our LNP run council refused to install safe, protected and connected bike lanes! If you provide safe, direct cycling infrastructure people will ride!

This morning the Story Bridge Bike Bus crew celebrated the 150th bike bus journey with party hats, cake and sparklers. The 8am bike bus has been a great community initiative to get people across the bridge safely after BCC suddenly closed active transport access.

Celebrating World Car-Free Day on Herschel St this morning, with a pop-up protected bikelane. Our lane took a few minutes to install, was cheap and effective. Hope Brisbane City Council was watching to see how well the lane worked. #MakeRoadsSafe #WorldCarFreeDay

After allowing the structural safety of the Story Bridge shared paths to degrade to such a condition they were no longer safe, it is positive to hear from Lord Mayor Schrinner that one path with the temporary surface will be open to foot & bike traffic before the end of the year.

Pop-up bikelane on Herschel St for World Car-Free Day After Council gave a non-committal response to our 800-signature petition, we intend to show how easy it would be to install a protected bikelane on Herschel for people to ride between the Bicentennial Bikeway, the CBD and northern suburbs.

A little reminder cities don't become cycling cities because their pollies say they're cycling cities, they become cycling cities due to the hard work of installing safe, protected infrastructure. Brisbane could be the same if our pollies had the will!

Brisbane City Council is yet to grant development approval to HSW's proposed changes to the site. The CBD BUG has submitted an additional submission relating to the latest round of documents. The proposed path remains non-compliant with TMR & Austroads guidelines.

It is good to hear that the Story Bridge paths are receiving a new temporary surface for reopening. This new path surface is only temporary or as 9 News Queensland described it, only a "band aid" solution as the existing path surface below will remain & continue to degrade.

The #StoryBridgeBikeBus rolled across the bridge again this morning, thanks to the Story Bridge Active Transport Alliance for keeping Brisbane moving. The bike bus can’t take scooters or pedestrians sadly. We need Council to dedicate a lane on the bridge for pedestrians, scooters and bikes.

A handwritten sign at Kangaroo Point advertises the Story Bridge Bike Bus meets here at 8am weekdays.

Beware of doors Recently one of our followers was a victim of a dooring. Please be careful when riding past parked cars. It is very difficult to see whether or not a vehicle is occupied and a door can swing open at anytime. If possible, please remember to ride clear of parked cars.

The Pollies love to talk about Brisbane being "world class" but are we? This is a standard Dutch style protected intersection, it is best practice and "world class" but nowhere in Brisbane do we have one. To be world class you don't just say it, you DO IT!

As part of HSW application to change the site it is argued HSW doesn't need to upgrade the existing shared use path to segregated path as they will provide an unobstructed 6m wide shared use path. This is how the existing shared use path was being used this morning!
