Just when #Bellingen expands the 50s infrastructure road widening program without #footpaths or #bikepaths the news hits:
Private vehicle usage must be halved to cut emissions, Climate Council says
"Australia should aim to reduce transport emissions by 75 per cent by 2030
Public and active transport needs to triple to meet that goal
Eighty-one per cent of trips are made in private vehicles across Australia, but the report says that would need to drop to 36 per cent by the end of the decade.
That would mean 49 per cent of trips would have to occur on public transport and 15 per cent through active transit.
At the moment the average Australian household has two petrol cars in the garage.
One of the easier solutions would be to increase reliable #ElectricBusServices rather than working on larger infrastructure projects." Excerpt

Not just #Bellingen, but elsewhere too:
"Nobody wants heavy vehicles rumbling up the middle of the main street..”
"The #MainStreet is a designated heavy transport corridor, has the most foot traffic and is a tourist icon. Many large trucks travelling through the main street...The trucks have got much bigger and much more numerous, but in addition to the #trucks there are a lot of commuters now from the new #developments”
