Draft Bicycle Strategy
Council is seeking feedback from local residents, businesses and other community members about its draft Bicycle Strategy 2010-2015. 
The draft strategy seeks to establish a long term vision for cycling in Yarra. It details actions and timelines for improvements to the on and off road bicycle network and other infrastructure (including bike parking facilities) so Council maximises bicycle use in Yarra.
The draft strategy sets a clear goal for Council to more than double the rate of Yarra residents cycling to work from 6.4% to 15% by 2015.
Hard copies of the draft strategy are available at the Richmond and Collingwood Town Halls and at the five Yarra Libraries.
Submissions about the draft strategy must be made before Thursday 22 October 2009. Please forward your comments to Council’s Co-ordinator Transport Mark Kulyk c/o Yarra City Council, PO Box 168, Richmond 3121 or at mark.kulyk@yarracity.vic.gov.au
Council’s Planning, Environment and Infrastructure meeting will formally consider all submissions received at its meeting at the Fitzroy Town Hall on Tuesday 1 December, at 8pm.
Council is expected to adopt the strategy, with any amendments required, at its full Council meeting at the Fitzroy Town Hall on Tuesday 15 December 2009, from 7pm.
