Last night was the annual BQ Christmas drinks at parliament. Guess how many of us got there!

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".

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

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!

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

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.

In space conscious Japan they have underground automated secure bike storage. No reason why Brisbane could not do the same at multiples locations. PS, footage taken by @cbdbug.bsky.social

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!

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

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.

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

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.

010

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

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.

Just a little reminder people will ride to the train if there is somewhere safe and easily accessible to park their bike. Coomera Station, Gold Coast line.

We are pleased to report that after over a decade of advocating for bike racks to be installed within sight of the RBWH main entrance they are finally in! Being within sight is critical for passive surveillance of one's bike

Brisbane City Council has asked for feedback on the future of Kedron Brook. We have responded with 1)Replacing shared paths with segregated paths 2)Make the paths more resilient 3)Install lighting that is solar-powered & flood proof. 4)Plant additional trees 5)Changes comply with TMR guidelines.

The CBD BUG is pleased to report after contacting Federal Transport Minister Catherine King, the safe, protected bikelanes for Sylvan Rd (which are receiving federal funding) will be completed by 2028. This great news!

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.

With the opening of Sydney's Oxford St Cycleway, Lord Mayor Clover Moore proves what a pollie with courage and conviction can achieve. This is once again a reminder of how little progress Brisbane City Council made in recent times when compared with City of Sydney! .

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

We are pleased to report after contacting the Lord Mayor, Urban Utilities has now rectified the surface of the Elizabeth St CityLink cycleway. While not perfect is is now much safer!

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!

If you would like to see safe, protected bikelanes along Sylvan Rd, Toowong, today is your last chance to provide feedback to Brisbane City Council. The consultation period closes today. Link to page yoursay.brisbane.qld.gov.au/sylvan-road-...

Today's council meeting has now begun in which the petition calling for the sub standard HSW shared use path to be upgraded to a safer, higher amenity segregated path it will be presented. As if on que, today HSW once again used the active transport corridor as a truck park!

Today the petition calling for the sub-standard shared use path through HSW to be upgraded to a safer, high capacity, high amenity segregated path goes before the Council chamber. Will the local councillor Vicki Howard speak up for a better path or remain silent?

020

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

It appears certain Brisbane City Council councillors will be passing the buck on responding to the petition calling for the current HSW shared path mess to upgraded to a safe, high capacity segregated path.

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

Thank you to everyone who signed the Story Bridge petition to reinstate foot & bike access across the bridge. 1700 plus signatures will hopefully result in a very considered response coming from Lord Mayor Schrinner & his fellow LNP councillors.

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Story Bridge Petition closing today. Lord Mayor & his councilor's have flat out refused to temporarily reallocate some road space to people on foot & bikes while the shared paths are repaired. Please sign the petition to change their minds! www.epetitions.brisbane.qld.gov.au/petition/view/pid/1451

Protest now cancelled! In case you missed the news the Story Bridge Protest has now been cancelled following the court's ruling. If the deteriorating state of the Story Bridge had been identified & corrected earlier there would be no reason for a protest!

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

It is good to see state member Grace Grace MP calling for the Story Bridge shared paths to be reopened. Unfortunately, we have not seen the local Councillor Vicki Howard being forth coming with similar language.

020

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

It has been months since Brisbane City Council closed the Story Bridge shared paths. It is time BCC reallocate a small amount of road space to those crossing the bridge on foot and wheels! Please sign the petition to make it so. www.epetitions.brisbane.qld.gov.au/petition/vie...

Ultimately : - Fueling a car, you have no choice but to support big business. - Fueling a bike, you have a choice to support small business. So next time a pollie claims they support small business think about "are they really supporting small business or just saying they are!"

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

We did ask the LNPQLD candidate for Brisbane, Trevor Evans if he would join the CBD BUG for a ride, we never received a response. It is a pity as we could of asked him if he still opposes the delivery of the North Brisbane Bikeway along Dickson St, Wooloowin?

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

#queenswharf promised an upgraded Bicentennial bikeway, what we got was an event space to be hired out to private events. We have contacted Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie MP asking for the blocking of the Bicentennial Bikeway to cease so the bikeway can be just that, a bikeway!

021

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 06/04/2025

We are pleased to report local state MP Grace Grace supports our call for Howard Smith Wharves to upgrade the existing substandard shared path to a compliant segregated path as part of the current DA by HSW to change the site. Currently HSW does not plan to upgrade the path!

A few weeks back Stephen Bates MP joined the CBD BUG for a ride between New Farm to the CBD. The CBD BUG invites candidates/MPs along for pre-election rides so they can better understand what the issues are and how they can be resolved. Thanks for joining us Stephen

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

Once again the Lord Mayor is referencing the cyclone for the delays in reopening the shared paths. What is not answered in this post is why a single lane of space could be allocated from general traffic to the movement of people on foot or bike!

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner has stated the closure of the Story Bridge shared paths will be prolonged to allow assessments to be carried out following last year's admission the bridge was in a worse condition than Brisbane City Council expected.

Ann St Ramp Closure It has come to our attention that the Ann St ramp up from the Bicentennial Bikeway has been closed. This is the information that we have on hand.

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

Brisbane City Council currently has no time frame for reopening the shared paths on either side of the Story Bridge. We tried contacting BCC on friday but the pre-recorded message on 3403 8888 stated that unless it was an emergency to please call back.

020

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

In @brisbanetimes.bsky.social article on the North Brisbane Bikeway it featured comment from an opponent to it running along Dickson St. Under the BCC City Plan, Dickson St is classified as a "district" road. BCC has five levels of classifications, "district" is the second lowest classification.

030

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Dickson St is the most direct route between the North Brisbane Bikeway (stage 4) & Kedron Brook so many people will continue to use it. It needs to be made safe! Please sign the petition www.epetitions.brisbane.qld.gov.au/petition/view/pid/1422

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

BIG NEWS! Sylvan Rd to get safe, protected bikelanes. What we know from Minister Catherine King's media release - Fully separated & bi-directional similar to CityLink - The lanes will stretch for 1.5km. (so Sylvan & Land St) - Project cost is $12m which the Fed Gov is providing $5m

020

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

It appears Brisbane City Council is reverting to the 2018 proposal to link the NBB stage 4 to Kedron Brook in leu of going down Dickson St up to now current proposal. This is not what Cr Ryan Murphy told us in early 2024. The CBD BUG continues to support completion of the NBB!

Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

If you walk/ride through Howard Smith Wharves you will know the shared bikeway is a mess. Please sign the petition so that HSW's planned works include a segregated bikeway. A segregated bikeway has improved safety, amenity & capacity for all. www.epetitions.brisbane.qld.gov.au/petition/view/pid/1407

In 2019 Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner promised 5 Green Bridges. 6 years later 2 have been delivered, 2 have been abandoned/cancelled & 1 is still planned. While we are very pleased that the first 2 bridges having been delivered, it is disappointing the continued reduction in what was promised.
