Can you spot the “bike lane" ?
This is emblematic of why I don't live in the US anymore.

Do you find the Bay Trail narrow and congested?
Bayside Council is proposing upgrading a narrow section between Dendy St and Green Point. The shared trail will be split into a side-by-side cycling trail and pedestrian trail, partially situated on a new boardwalk.
This is item 12.2 on the agenda for Tuesday 17th February.
Coming along to Council to speak in support, or emailing the councillors, is encouraged.

Recently Infrastructure Victoria recommended building 12 cycling corridors in Melbourne, and other routes in regional Victoria. In our area, they recommended building a protected bike route from Anzac Station to Sandringham (using the St Kilda Rd lanes). We'd like to see all candidates at the upcoming state election signing up to support this.
PPBUG is planning to ride from St Kilda Junction to Sandringham on Wednesday 18th February. Meet at the intersection of St Kilda Rd and Punt Rd (specifically at the park on the north-west corner of the intersection) at 6pm 18th Feb 2026. We will ride to Sandringham along St Kilda Rd—- New St— Hampton St. Stopping as needed to discuss what is needed and take photos.

All welcome; RSVP optional (for last minute changes of plan due to weather etc) or to stay in contact with the campaign.

In November 2025, Infrastructure Victoria released Victoria’s infrastructure strategy 2025–2055 . One key recommendation was to invest in 12 cycling corridors in Melbourne and a network of cycle corridors in Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and Wangaratta over the next 10 years. &a

The slip lane (between the two As in diagram) looks pretty sketchy--- Bayside has just got rid of a similar slip lane at the intersection of New St and Bent Ave which was the site of many crashes. Drivers hoping to make the turn in a gap in traffic fail to see people on bikes coming through the intersection-- very dangerous if they have not stopped.

The one in our area is the Anzac Station to Sandringham route. This would be a massive enabler--- would allow people from a big catchment in the south-east to access the St Kilda Rd bike lanes and the CBD beyond.
