Thanks @AlexCrowe12 @canberratimes for chance to talk about using 🚲 as a tool to create a better quality of life for all people, regardless of ability. My teacher @teije123 & colleagues stressed we should build for the city we want, not the city we have.

There will be a lot of sound and fury on this topic, but it’s important to remember that 30 km/h speed limits on suburban streets save lives but don’t make any appreciable difference to journey times. Opponents just don’t like being told what to do.

#lightrail is an investment for #CBR future, and the financial arrangements for LRS1 are a successful model for future stages.

A great little piece from @The_RiotACT summing up last week’s passenger info outages. We’d been politely asking @Transport_CBR about it for days, but it wasn’t until we issued a media release that the problem got fixed.

As yet more public housing is blocked in Tribunal this week, it’s worth taking the time to go through one of these cases in detail…because the details are *wild*. The problem here isn’t the social housing – it’s our backwards planning rules. 🧵1/ https://twitter.com/the_riotact/status/1632878783601442816?s=46&t=lVSId_ReCprW0Uh3kqoliA
