Despite chalking up wins with the ‘A Metre Matters’ law and the defeat of compulsory ID rules, cyclists face draconian fines and cycling deaths remain on the rise in NSW.
Stats released last month show that cyclist deaths have jumped from 25 – 45 in the past 12 months.
Last week in parliament I asked the Minister for Roads what the government is doing to protect cyclists.
Imagine hopping on a ferry at Annandale or West Balmain and being in the heart of the city within minutes.
In 2020, we won the campaign for a Glebe ferry. Now, we have the opportunity to connect more of our area to the ferry network. New ferries at Annandale and West Balmain will provide a faster, smarter route into the city without adding to the traffic on our roads.
Both Labor and the Liberals want to build more polluting and destructive tollways across Sydney. But we have costed a comprehensive plan for a world-class public transport system that makes getting around our city fast and easy.
Dear Transport Minister,
New inner west ferry services would provide efficient, fast and environmentally sound travel to and from the area for workers, tourists, students, pensioners and the general public.
I therefore ask that the Government build on the success of the Blackwattle Bay ferry and establish a ferry service at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area and reinstate the ferry at West Balmain.
