Too much space for cycling. Take out cycling in the service area and pave this for pedestrians only. Cyclists are a menace.

Representation Summary:

I do want the cycle route, which is important to provide.

However, the numbers don't add up, and the proportion allocated to pedestrian space is too low - 5m is not proportionate use of the space, which should remain predominately pedestrian-orientated in character but still allow cycling.

Objector stating that "cyclists are a menace" is tarring all users with the same brush. For instance, children leaving school at 3.30pm, when there is plenty of space for cycling here, are denied access to safe routes as a result of the current ban.

Representation Summary:

The proposed 5 metre kerb-separated carriageway for Fitzroy Street would dominate too much of what is supposed to be a street with pedestrian priority. We do want to see an all-day safe and inclusive cycle route but it should be achieved in a more sensitive and integrated manner that retains the pedestrianised character of the street.
