    Big news! The missing link between College & King St just opened for consultation! Have your say here: www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/proposed-works-maintenance/your-feedback-on-a-cycling-link-between-king-and-college-streets-sydney

    Good analysis Chris. Cycling infrastructure is rarely perfect but College Street is a good start

    @dominicgalvin suggested a channel meetup at a bikeable pub in the comments of my last video (the suggestion was in the comments, not the pub) - I reckon it's a spectacular idea but I won't have a free weekend for a good few weeks. Monday and Tuesday nights would potentially work well, reply to this comment if you'd be interested!

    100% support all the points made - but not sure about the specific application of the hierarchy on College Street. If I was walking between any points on the east of College St, I would walk on the footpath on the east side. If I was walking to/from anywhere on the west side, I would walk through the park. A footpath at road level on the west side of College St would be 100% empty.

      You'd think so, but in the short time I was filming by the cycleway, I saw three people walk on the "no pedestrian access" curb - people tend to walk in the direction of their destination then cross when convenient. Maybe zebra crossings instead of signalised crossings would make a footpath redundant though.

      @@ChrisTopher_Urbanism Yes. I agree. More and better ped access is needed into the park - but not necessarily along the edge of the park.

    So what I got out of this is that we need to prescribe buses SSRIs??

      Yep definitely, some of the busses I've driven on definitely need to be less depressed and slow

    Just a slight remark on your video, fix the sound. The combination of your voice and the place where you have your microphone produces a metallic sound that is horrible. Too horrible to continue. Parts are ok, just the moment you explain 'on camera' it sucks.

      Thanks for the tip, I had my mic too far away while filming this one - it's fixed in my most recent vids :)
