Pedestrian Council of Australia the Walking Class
Pedestrian Council of Australia The Walking Class Safety ––AmenityAmenity – Access – Health Pedestrian Council of Australia The W alki ng Cl ass A presentation to the Greater Sydney Commission April 2017 Pedestrian Council of Australia The W alki ng Cl ass WALKABILTY Prince Charles 60 Minutes - Sunday 6 November 2005: (Quote) “The whole of the 20th Century has always put the car at the centre, so by putting the pedestrian first, you create these liveable pp,laces, I think, with more attraction and interest and character and liveability.” Walking is the first thing an infant wants to do and the last thing an old person wants to give up. Walking is the exercise that does not need a gym. It is the prescription without medicine, the weight control without diet, and the cosmetic that can’t be found in a chemist. It is the tranquilliser without a pill, the therapy without a psychoanalyst, and the holiday that does not cost a penny. What’s more, it does not pollute, consumes few natural resources and is higgyhly efficient. Walking is convenient, it needs no special equipment, is self-regulating and inherently safe . Walking is as natural as breathing.

THE SPIT BRIDGE the NSW Government on Friday 18 August 2006 Announced a $60M Plan to Add Two More Drawbridge Lanes to the Spit Bridge
THE SPIT BRIDGE The NSW Government on Friday 18 August 2006 announced a $60m plan to add two more drawbridge lanes to the Spit Bridge. This is a very bad idea. The sole benefit will come in the form of modest time savings for counter-peak traffic. No benefit whatever will be gained by Northern Beaches residents who presently commute daily in the direction of the city. The plan offers no incentive for users of public transport and promises even greater congestion on Military Road and other thoroughfares in Mosman, Cremorne and Neutral Bay. A much more realistic plan – developed by Michael Darby and (then) Liberal Councillor David Dickman in 2002 – has long been displayed at the website http://michaeldarby.net/Tunnel.pdf. Note the alternate route displayed in white on page 4. This involves a single lane cable-stay high level bridge on the eastern side of the Spit Bridge and an elevated roadway across The Spit. The advantage is greatly reduced gradients and the disadvantages are greater length and increased visual impact. Let private enterprise invest in a switchable tunnel of one or two lanes from Manly Vale to Cammeray, which will bring enduring benefits to the residents of the Northern Beaches.
