Best cycleway ever!!

Great to be involved in this . Now just need to connect to Oxford st East

Woohoo .. Charles St Square wins the NSW AILA award for excellence! Civic Design category. Another great collaboration with #lahznimmo. Thanks too to @parracity .

Great news for Inner West residents. Due to extensive advocacy from Bicycle NSW, the Victoria Road pedestrian and cycling underpass has reopened. bicyclensw.org.au/rozelle-interc… @BicycleNSW #Advocacy #ridersinsurance #bikeinsurance #membership #MembershipBenefits

Working in Lismore with the Living Lab. Sustainable futures for the area.

@PhilipThalis Great community too. Shame traffic engineers are in control

Exploring Granville in the heart of metro Sydney. Vibrant Main Street - South Street, with good recent central tree planting (more streets need this), but awful roundabout & pedestrian fence land - typical traffic engineers’ costly, wasteful imposition on ‘safety’ pretext 🧵

Another great read.....Infrastructure administration might be banal but it's costing us tens of billions via @crikey_news crikey.com.au/2023/12/12/inf…

This is a great read. Design and the Green New Deal placesjournal.org/article/design…

Eladio Hernando presents SMM’s Alumni Park at Rosa Barba Prize in Barcelona. Fingers crossed. With #mcgregorwestlake.

For anyone seeking to understand how we’ve ended up with a huge affordability issue in housing and what the [contentious] destination is to redress it, this interview between ⁦@murpharoo⁩ and ⁦@AlanKohler⁩ is well worth 30 minutes of your time. theguardian.com/australia-news…

@michaelkoziol While sure he was good at winning Vic elections against useless Lib opposition, Dan Andrews’ urban policies pretty weak; -Fisherman’s Bend? -Southbank? -Apple Store in Fed Sq? -Loop railway too far out, but no airport rail? -Demo all inner city public housing? -Motorwaymania

Speculation of a terrace strata sub-division. 1,000s within Sydney LGAs. Many occupied by empty nesters. Simple strata sub-division enables 2 smaller dwellings within. Upper apt.access via external stair. Reversible. Class 2 hybrid!! @Constructionedg

A nice change from the over designed playgrounds that adults typically like (and government agencies commission) urbanomnibus.net/state-of-play via @UrbanOmnibus

Another miss use of competitions

Well if only they did update streetscapes but granny flats typically destroy backyard landscapes for a feeble density increase that will not solve the housing issue. Love your work and aspirations but we need more landscape and denser streetscapes #YIMS

Victoria Rd comes to mind….
