I've corrected the photo with trees.<BR/><BR/>I'm still puzzled why in your letter to the Sydney morning herald today<BR/>(http://www.smh.com.au/letters/?page=3)<BR/>you don't even mention the trees when clearly they they are the object of your concern. Why not call them trees instead of the slippery metonymies of 'hacking away' at 'our heritage', and this so-called 'monstrosity'. It looks like smoke and mirrors to me. From what I understand, there is only one tree under threat and it can be replanted. I genuinely take your concern about trees being felled but its not going to happen. <BR/><BR/>btw: I live in Redfern I ride up Bourke Street all the time. The narrowness is not an issue. Cyclists don't need anywhere near as much space as cars. There is no reason to fear the cycleway. The cycleway has been earmarked as a regional route in the RTA 2010 bike strategy since the mid 90s. The CoS cycling strategy for future development. Its not writ in stone, its not effective Environment and Planning legislation under the Act (perish the thought!).Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13521787677492163663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37799509.post-4645717031082767162008-05-07T17:11:00.000-07:002008-05-07T17:11:00.000-07:00Get your facts straight before commenting(about th...Get your facts straight before commenting(about the planned cycleway)..the pic posted as an illustration of the proposed pathway is actually CROWN Street Surry hills not Bourke street. So I propose you take a trip to Surry Hills and do a rethink maybe from the point of view of a (non bike using resident of the suburb.<BR/>BrianBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627488268627809638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37799509.post-18196480755329979532008-05-07T00:52:00.000-07:002008-05-07T00:52:00.000-07:00I'm heading to Canberra next week for a short visi...I'm heading to Canberra next week for a short visit.Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13521787677492163663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37799509.post-5491751755233264052008-05-06T21:14:00.000-07:002008-05-06T21:14:00.000-07:00Ummmmm.You could move down here instead?Ummmmm.<BR/><BR/>You could move down here instead?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37799509.post-65805507600395961582008-05-06T18:18:00.000-07:002008-05-06T18:18:00.000-07:00Instead of escaping to New Zealand, you could simp...Instead of escaping to New Zealand, you could simply escape to Canberra -- and be in cycling heaven!
