[bikeqld] Kurilpa Bridge opening Sunday 4 October

[kim]

Is this bridge primarily a pedestrian bridge to connect the CBD directly 
to the Arts precinct? The artists impression picture they had there 
during the construction ominously did not show any cyclists. Will it 
connect into the Melbourne St on-road bike lane as a primary route 
between the CBD and West End? Right now the Goodwill does not connect 
into Vulture St or Melbourne St very well; the main roads into west end. 
Given the Council's $100m cycling budget for 4 years, $64m State Gov 
spend does seem like a lot to me unless there was a lot in it for 
cyclists with that connection. The State seems to prefer these big 
spends like the Normanby-Roma St underpass and Toowong-Botanic Gardens 
bridge which don't really seem to add greatly to the bikeways network.
