Roger from Tamar Bicycle User Group would like help supporting Launceston City Council’s continued rollout of the urban bicycle network.

We need to send letters/emails to Launceston City Council about the remaining bike network lanes, in particular Mulgrave Street…

• Mulgrave is critical because it acts as a link to Charles Street bike lanes (Mowbray hill acts as a link to other lanes too but we’ll put that to one side)
• Bike lanes on Mulgrave will fit well into the streetscape and won’t affect parking
• Bike lanes will make cycling safer in Mulgrave street by helping to calm the vehicle traffic flow
• Bike lanes will make cycling safer in Mulgrave street by clearly delineating the traffic lanes
• Lanes may also help pedestrian crossing of street
• Cost effective solution for improving the safety people riding bikes

You can see more about the plans at http://yourvoiceyourlaunceston.com.au/bikenetwork, but this council forum is closed to comment now.

PLEASE send an email to council ASAP (it can be a short one).  Address it “Dear Mayor and Aldermen” at council@launceston.tas.gov.au
