From Bicycle Network: Yarra pushes on with sub-standard bike lanes

'To squeeze the new redundant parking in, the council has opted for a too-narrow bike lane configuration that does not satisfy national, state or local guidelines for such infrastructure.' /1

Even though my residency at SLV has finished, you can keep georeferencing their digitised maps. I've set up automated processes to save all the data and feed it into the apps I created for exploration and use. 1,460 maps have been georeferenced so far! https://wragge.github.io/slv-allmaps/ #maps #GLAM

"He instantly took a victory bike ride with future councillors on Sunday night to show that the city would continue its pro-cycling and environmental policies."

It's a Saturday so I took a break from software development to, err, develop software? Of course.

https://codeberg.org/pbarker/gpxtidy

gpxtidy is a little Rust program to tidy up GPX files for publication - it removes dates, times and personally identifying data so that they can be safely shared online. It simplifies the track by removing points that introduce less than a configurable error threshold. Finally it writes the result as either a GPX file or a GeoJSON LineString.

If you upload tracks of hikes, rides, runs or similar then this might be of interest to you.

I can't publish it to crates.io yet as it relies on an unreleased version of the gpx crate, but hopefully that will get fixed soon.

@Bot4Sale Yes! Or better yet, more dedicated lanes for buses and bikes, more frequent public transport services. Perhaps even free public transport services for the next month?
