Our view
This is a great guide – we applaud Transport for NSW for clearly explaining the issues and supporting Councils to deliver solutions. We urge the Victorian Government to do the same. As Transurban has stated, people are avoiding public transport and are taking up cycling. We should support them by providing safe infrastructure.
