Definitely a manifesto.

Still, if there is one salient point:

"Relying on individual councils to propose individual segments within their LGAs is not going to deliver the contiguous network we need. "

Hey would love to get your thoughts on the cycle plan if possible.

Ditto for Cat Interceptor.

Oh I already commented on it:

EDIT: You really got to work on the pitch - put an exec summary up front and have all your strongest points in there.

Oh whoops so you did, sorry. I'm still interested in the specifics of the logistics and feasibility, but fair enough, I'll take that, no news is good news I guess.

To be blunt I don't have the mental bandwidth to think about those things unless it comes with a cheque, and even then most of that money would go into hard liquor at the prospect of delivering something that ambitious within the current environment.

Lets just loving carpet bomb Sydney into rubble and start again I say.

*Lines on maps*

Bucky, you gotta write in explicitly and in small words.

This - those who make the decisions are generally time poor (and right now a lot of that time is being spent hunting for asbestos in mulch on every project over the last decade).

Also, I'm eyeballing a few of the routes and I'm very cognisant of the use of some of the locations proposed for road freight - IIRC the amount of freight in and out of Port Botany is going to double over the next twenty years and the rail connections will only accommodate 30% of it - you are not going to get any buy in on routes that would result in a loss of efficiency.

I would never! Almost none of the routes affect cars at all, let alone freight trucks. That's the beauty of the formula.

We just gotta fight the cunts with golf clubs that are hogging all the land.

Also I thought the lines on maps were good at communicating the information for time-poor people.

Somebody looking at Port Botany (the LAST place you want to reduce efficiency in any way shape or form) is going to be concerned - granted I appreciate that you didn't try to do what Bayside Council does with their strategic cycle maps and propose a connection under the runways...

Lmao Bucky got loving scooped
I've seen behind the curtain and there are so many designs sitting on shelves collecting dust until there is the political drive and/or money to get them done... then more often than not plans for cycleways get turned it gets turned into a shared path because it's cheaper.

I heard Webb speak once, and my impression is she kept getting handed the poisoned chalices that nobody else wanted, rising in the ranks more from general attrition and being willing to take on the poo poo nobody else wants to.

The above statement speaks volumes of her mental mindset.
