CityLink Cycleway 12-month trial ends, Brisbane City Council to assess success

Image
 A 12-month trial for separated bicycle lanes on three Brisbane CBD streets will be reviewed by the city council before it decides whether to keep the lanes or rip them up.  The CityLink Cycleway was installed on Elizabeth Street, Edward Street, and Victoria Bridge last year in a bid to boost cyclist safety and active travel through the CBD. Brisbane City Council transport chairperson Ryan Murphy said the lanes would remain open for both cyclists and e-scooter riders to use while it assessed the 12-month trial. "More and more people are choosing to ride, scoot or walk in the CBD and the CityLink Cycleway project has made this safer and easier for everyone," Mr Murphy said.

 Odessa the labradoodle is far from your average lovable puppy.  She is cute and cuddly, but she has a very important job to do. "She hasn't been to the hospital yet, but she's showing some really promising signs walking up to my work colleagues and that's a really good sign for a community therapy dog because we want them to not be attached to a single person," owner Liz Palmer said. "We want them to be loving on everyone." Odessa is the second puppy Ms Palmer has adopted for the charity Hope For Our Children to improve outcomes for children going through the trauma of giving evidence in court or dealing with illness.
