See below for information and a petition about the proposed removal of 
bike lanes on Waminda St in Morningside. (Apologies for the belated 
forwarding; I've been away).

Cheers,

Folks


Please refer to the link below regarding EAST BUG's latest neighbourhood 
campaign and relevant details which may be of interest to some of your 
members.

Your assistance in circulating it would be most welcomed.


Waminda Street is on the SEQ Principal Cycle Network Plan and is a major 
cross route connector between Old Cleveland Road and Wynnum Road for 
commuter and recreational cyclists alike.



This is one of those "stake in the ground" issues for EAST BUG as the 
local councillor - Shayne Sutton went in to bat for us to get on street 
parking removed to allow dedicated bike lanes to be installed along the 
length of Waminda Street. As we all know getting dedicated on road space 
for cyclists is never easy especially when it involves taking away car 
parks and we can not afford to be complacent on this one.


We have an on-line petition and a paper petition circulating - both of 
which are on the wiki at the link below. We have over 130 signatures 
with 1 week to go before we have to submit it to Council.
