The #CoomeraConnector (#SecondM1) should have never been proposed and approved. It is going to increase car congestion in #GoldCoast.
Some #ActiveTransport design errors:
1. Path only on one side
2. Path on the inside of the noise barrier
3. Ramps instead of tunnels
4. Long detours to get to places on the other side
5. Lack of any connectivity to the other side
6. Motorway right to the edge of homes
7. On-road bike lanes on 60 km/h roads -
The expanded and redesigned car park next to the #Coomera train station shows that the #Queensland #TMR department is moving backwards on active travel infrastructure.
When I see this lamppost placement in what seems to be a minimum width footpath, I wonder, would you place it in a road like that? No? Then why did you put it in the path to be used by pedestrians, bikes, mobility scooters?
The second photo, for comparison, shows the old good design at the #Helensvale, #GoldCoast train station:

An example of #Unwalkable #GoldCoast, #Australia. I didn't plan my bike ride carefully enough yesterday. I looked at an old map and didn't see footpaths, but I assumed that part of a recent A$25 million redesign of M1 exit 57 in Oxenford was adding some pedestrian infrastructure. I was wrong. There is no way to walk from #Oxenford to #Helensvale here. There is no way to safely ride a bike either. Even the painted #bike lanes end. This is a people-hostile design in the middle of the city.

My bike/train commute from #Coomera to #Helensvale is so quiet in the morning during school holidays. So few #cars. Cities are not loud, cars are...
One more photo from the yesterday's burn. Someone told me that if you are close enough and don't see the fire, just smoke - it's a controlled burn, because firefighters are there, pouring water to keep the #fire small. Still, it is a sight to behold.

The #NGR (New Generation Rollingstock) #train of #QueenslandRail at #Helensvale. The newest trains in #Queensland. Seating 454 pax. Max speed 140km/h. Quiet, smooth ride. Accessible toilets. The seats are less comfortable (thinner, harder) compared to older types, are narrow, and have little leg room, but they have head rests, so they are safer. No folding trays, no electrical outlets, no luggage storage, no bicycle stands. You are allowed to take a bike on board free, via the first & last door.

The footpath and a patch of nature along Brisbane Rd in #Helensvale, #GoldCoast. It will be gone when the #CoomeraConnector motorway construction starts here.

An #ANZAC #mural in #Helensvale, #GoldCoast over the rail tracks. It will probably be gone when the #CoomeraConnector motorway construction starts here.
