SA ALP release Greenways & Cycling policy

The ALP's policy is now online.

Policy link [pdf]

If you are looking for some other meaty reading EcoVelo posted about a cycling in Sydney and Melbourne comparative study.

Study link [pdf]

The researchers found Sydney to be unusually bike-un-friendly, with Pucher quoted in the Sydney Morning Heraldas saying, “Whether I was a pedestrian or cyclist I found the level of the hostility of Sydney motorists worse than I had seen anywhere in the
world.”

Now... where is the connection between these two documents? We know from the interview with Minister Conlon he is a cyclist and apparently Mike Rann has promised to come out on a group ride (he's even been seen sitting on a bicycle)

For goodness sake! I'm glad I didn't need to print that document to read it... who ever set it out deserves to be shot! As if a document on green space, cycling and the environment is set out to waste THAT much paper!!! (see pages 3, 4, 5 & 9)

True, except that some things are more important than a new bridge over South road. and I'm not talking about layouts and paper usage here… Just saying.

Hi All, have I missed something, or is the ALP policy lacking a time line? I am excited to see a plan, but some more specific (and hence accountable) statements about when things are planned would be welcome.

An update:

The liberal policy is here.

The Greens policy is here

Note I see only the ALP have actually used the word 'cycling' their policy title. The others are transport.
