We have all heard the phrase “build it and they will come “.If bike lanes are present ppl will feel safe biking and using bike lanes.Be proactive.To many fatalities in the news to do nothing.

The new marking for bike lanes appears that it could be a waste of ratepayers money.. Apart from I convincing local residents the lines do nothing to protect cyclists from busses pulling into and out from bus stops situated within the bike lane area. I fail to see the proposed major increase of bike use to justify the expense of line marking and ongoing maintenance.

Great! We have just moved to Wynnum because of the facility to use the bike as local transport. I am especially fond of biking because of my Danish origin where bike lanes are everywhere – very important for the safety of the bikers.
It is my belief that biking combined with trains is the answer to future commuting and a must for local transport.

I fully agree with all these comments especially with Wynnum North Road as I often walk across this road. And yes, people should be encouraged to use their bikes more and they have to have safe zones to do this. I do understand the issues that residents have in regards to parking in these streets so surely there is some sort of compromise that can be reached.
