While other cities in Australia and around the world are encouraging cycling during the coronavirus pandemic, Adelaide will host a so-called "driver's month" to encourage cars to return to the CBD to boost trade.
The motion put up by Councillor Jessy Khera and supported by a majority vote will allow cars to drive in dedicated bus lanes, under "pop-up congestion-easing measures".Cr Khera said the measures were "desperately needed now", with fewer shoppers and diners coming into the city, hurting small businesses.
"This is about a specific effort to encourage those people back into the city where they will support our businesses," Cr Khera told the meeting. "This is not something that is anti-bike, it is not anti-bus — it sits alongside all those other modes of transport — but it is recognising that the absolute lifeblood of people patronising our city is via automobiles."
Even with pop-up bike lanes bike riding forvtransport doesn't take off here. Conclusion: Our collective national bike brain has been damaged by the Mandatory Helmet Law. The State has convinced the people that bike riding is inherently, always, dangerous.
How Radelaide.
What a stupid idea
Cars don’t buy things 🤦♂️

That’ll make a change to the usual horse and carts. 2020 really is an odd year
God I hate the Adelaide city council so much. They basically destroyed the city for driving, and now they want to reverse it. Who are these goons in power? Auspol

Newlywed couple comes to the rescue to help stranded toddler homeAfter a separation prolonged by the coronavirus pandemic, a mother has been reunited with her three-year-old daughter in Adelaide, thanks to the kindness of strangers who brought her home. This is one example, there are many more stranded kids, couples, families still desperately waiting. We are talking about fellow Australians not international travellers. IStillCallAustraliaHome Good samaritans! But I find this strange, and i have heard of this before many times, where the parents offload their first born/underage school kid to their parents back home until convenient. Could be many reasons - cost effective, next baby is due, interferes with work etc. What a lovely story and it sounds like Prisha deserves a medal for being so good.
