The Grattan Institute says as much as 140k more homes could be built across Melbourne and Sydney if parking requirements were abolished and that "upwards of 40% of car parks were left empty each night in apartments" across three major Australian capitals.

I recently spoke to the Canberra Times about Living Streets Canberra's disappointment regarding the delayed introduction of fees for footpath closures. The government delayed the fees after being lobbied by the ACT Property Council.

We will be planning a "walkshop" in this meeting. If you are interested in participating, please register for our meeting.

My problem with this is if it would actually get used. What I know from pedestrian activity is, pedestrians will find the easiest, quickest and most convenient way to walk. I would expect this to be especially true of teenagers.
So if we built a pedestrian bridge, would it get used, or would students just dash across the road because it was more convenient for them.

Andrew Barr's office advised me a week ago that Tara Cheyne's office is looking into the situation at Botanical Turner. I haven't heard anything yet, so I have sent a follow up email to her office this morning.
The issue is ongoing at the site.

It is no wonder why there is such distrust with Fix My Street in Canberra.
I had raised a safety concern regarding the bollards on City Walk at Garema Place, as construction workers have been leaving the bollards out with no cover, leaving a big hole in the ground.
On Wednesday, TCCS closed my report noting "Bollard Cover replaced". But today I visited the area. Again, the bollard is out, and there is still no cover for the hole.

Today I am an example of why it is important that attention is brought to our walking environments. I'm at TCH tonight, waiting for xray of my left arm. Happened at work. Two paths not quite meeting level.

Traffic delays building on Concord in #CambridgeMA. Why? Not bike lanes -- but because we gave six people the ability to store their property on the road and the emergency vehicles had to take a travel lane. #BetterStreets

I added an option to Better Intersections to see which intersections meet the target and recommended max pedestrian wait time in the City of Sydney’s draft walking strategy and action plan!

I wrote up a blog post on my cycleway lengths dashboard: https://jakecoppinger.com/2024/01/which-australian-councils-are-building-the-most-cycleways/
I've made some more improvements, including sortable columns to rank council areas and design improvements.
PRs welcome!

I wrote an analysis of the City of Sydney's Bicycle contraflow streets, using OpenStreetMap data and Overpass Ultra (an Overpass Turbo alternative!)
Any suggestions or corrections are much appreciated.

Paris to charge SUV drivers higher parking fees to tackle ‘auto-besity’
> Paris city hall is to impose higher parking fees on owners of SUVs in its battle to reduce pollution in the capital.
> Details of the charges have not been announced but the size, weight of the vehicle and its motor will be taken into consideration.

@walk_sydney I've added all the crossings with countdown timers in Sydney (collected via Better Intersections via ODbL) to OpenStreetMap under the `traffic_signals:countdown_green=yes` tag, which you can see a map of here: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1wAj
The wiki for the `traffic_signals:countdown` tag in OSM is for timers counting down the red until the green light - so I invented that tag name - open to suggestions from the worldwide OSM community on better tag names for that.
A (very empty) map of scramble crossings is at https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1wAk, using the `crossing:scramble=yes`.
Please add any other examples you know of either to OSM, or let me know and I can add them.
