AndrewR<p><a href="https://bne.social/tags/Brisbane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brisbane</span></a> bike riders want parity with how drivers are treated.</p><p>I know several people who have been affected by this. The Story Bridge pedestrian/bike pathway have been closed and no information provided when they'll reopen.</p><p>Why not put a popup shared path in a lane on each side?</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/apr/13/sudden-closure-of-iconic-bridge-to-cyclists-shows-car-is-still-king-in-brisbane" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/australia-news</span><span class="invisible">/2025/apr/13/sudden-closure-of-iconic-bridge-to-cyclists-shows-car-is-still-king-in-brisbane</span></a></p><p><a href="https://bne.social/tags/cyclinginbrisbane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cyclinginbrisbane</span></a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/UnwalkableBrisbane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnwalkableBrisbane</span></a></p>
AndrewR<p>How <a href="https://bne.social/tags/Brisbane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brisbane</span></a> is getting e-scooters all wrong (I concur)</p><p><a href="https://readreed.com.au/2025/02/15/footpath-obstacles-how-brisbane-is-getting-e-scooters-wrong/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">readreed.com.au/2025/02/15/foo</span><span class="invisible">tpath-obstacles-how-brisbane-is-getting-e-scooters-wrong/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://bne.social/tags/unwalkablebrisbane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unwalkablebrisbane</span></a></p>
AndrewR<p>These Neuron and Lime scooters are getting a bit annoying (if they weren't already).</p><p>Lime have been dumping dozens on the footpath everyday in a busy spot in front of the Goodwill bridge, presumably for QUT GP students (noting e-scooters are banned on campus).</p><p>On at least one occasion a scooter was neatly lined up going into the bike path. Missed the opportunity for a photo but I'm sure it'll happen again.</p><p>In the meantime I'll keep cursive at Big Scooter for these dumb footpath blocking machines and the BCC for its incredibly lax/nonexistent enforcement. </p><p><a href="https://bne.social/tags/brisbane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brisbane</span></a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/unwalkablebrisbane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unwalkablebrisbane</span></a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/cyclinginbrisbane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cyclinginbrisbane</span></a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/limescooters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>limescooters</span></a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/neuronscooters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neuronscooters</span></a></p>
AndrewR<p>TIL that many of <a href="https://bne.social/tags/Brisbane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brisbane</span></a>'s bus stop shelters are privately owned (not just the advertising slot).</p><p>With more e-scooters on footpaths and busier roads making it unsafe to ride on, improving footpaths makes a lot of sense. One way that can be done is to make bus shelters transparent so that bus users and footpath users can see each other.</p><p>At the moment I'm trying to get access to a report from BCC about the safety of a shelter that they recently reviewed.</p><p><a href="https://bne.social/tags/cyclingbrisbane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cyclingbrisbane</span></a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/UnwalkableBrisbane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnwalkableBrisbane</span></a></p>
