Council bike plan anger

TRADER backlash has prompted the City of Greater Geelong to redesign contentious bike connection plans for Moorabool, Carr and Gheringhap streets, creating extra parking to offset the loss of 47 all-day spaces. WHAT a joke! They have redesigned nothing. They made a couple of tiny changes, that’s all. Playing us for mugs, unconscionable, deceitful bureaucrats. John Verikios

HAVE five goes (spending millions each time) before you get it right is the council’s standard practice — just look at the mall! Doug Gilham

THE mindset of people in Gee- long? “Avoid the CBD at all costs” because it is a complete shambles. The streets and traffic layouts are laughable. #circus Aaron Richies

THE bike track gets used in Malop St mainly by motorbikes. Nearly got bowled over after parking in a loading zone. Joe Tuck

HERE comes a rate rise! Toni Coppola

I SAT for more than an hour having coffee in Belmont yesterday and not one bike rider passed me. How can they validate this spending? Jan Brasher

COGG thinks a lot like government — “Let it go for a while”, they’re (ratepayers) too daft to realise. Paul Mana

IT’S obvious none of them ever need to travel in an east/west direction through this gridlocked abortion of a town. Rob Jenner

IT shouldn’t be all about bikes! David Hayley

CITY is dead, traders should be angry, what a joke your council is. Cheryl Ferguson

I STILL believe the city planners’ intention is to gridlock the city centre to forcibly encourage commuters to bypass the CBD, making it less congested. Problem is, they still haven’t got a viable east/west arterial to move that traffic. Shano Anthony

JUST do like they did in The Simpsons Movie … drop a massive dome over the CBD and we can all just go on with our lives … Chantell Gardner
