    A shift of up to 5 per cent of the 1 million trips within <10ks of the Sydney CBD to walking and cycling could result in a reduction of up to 50,000 motor vehicle trips per day.

    Worth noting that docked bikes aren't making a comeback in most cities around the world - but that creating geo-tethers for dockless bikes is showing promise - i.e. creating zones where bikes can be stored, rather than the current free-for-all.

    Just had a great presentation from on Bike Share - while Sydney's currently not loving Bike Share, it has enormous potential. Huge mode shift being encouraged, including a massive 10% modal shift in Shenzen in 18 months.

    Pretty phenomenal - the concept of justifying how spending money on incarceration vs on health and education is clever.

    RED ALERT. Philadelphia's DA just issued the most revolutionary guiding document ever written from someone working INSIDE of America's justice system. It is groundbreaking. It represents the single biggest policy shift in criminal justice history.

    It's with a heavy heart we share the news that the lead singer of The Cambodian Space Project, Kak Channthy, has tragically passed away. Our deepest sympathies go out to the band, her friends and family.

    This has been pitched as a negative outcome in the SMH today - but if new transport infrastructure improved 28.3% of sydneysider’s commutes that would be incredible. I have a feeling people are expecting too much of the NSW Govt.
