Project background:
Brisbane City Council (BCC) is currently reviewing the Brisbane CityPlan 2014 Bicycle network overlay. This overlay map guides future planning and spend on new and upgraded bicycle infrastructure. To take advantage of this opportunity, we will review responses from our members on what needs fixing in Brisbane and create a single map with the connected network.
This project builds on previous work from the Brisbane CBD BUG to plan protected space on main roads to and within the Brisbane Central Business District (click links to open maps in a new window):
