      Making active transport worse in 2026, during an oil crisis, increasing traffic congestion, pollution and a global warming has got to be the dumbest decision City of Yarra has made.

      Voters really got sucked in by Stephen Jolly. Turns out he’s just a boomer doing basically everything the demographics in Yarra are against.

      Who voted for him.

      Absolute brain dead decision to remove bike lanes in Yarra. We should be encouraging cycling where possible, not driving.

      What the hell many people outside of Richmond ride along there to get into the city in the morning. The buddest temple they say the parking is for looks demolished when I was last there

      Bro why, do the meth addicts there need more parking or something? There’s a massive multi storey car park there!

      Every time I’ve driven along there, the people parking in those parking spots seem to be mostly awful at it. That and the vehicles getting parked in them have steadily increased over the years so they barely fit anyway…

      That and the number of certain individuals heading along Lennox St who have little to no awareness or concern for such things as pedestrian crossings or oncoming traffic (two or four wheeled) and it’s always a bit of a gamble to transit, irrespective of the means you use.

      Nobody is a real winner here.

      I can’t think of a suburb that’s less designed for cars than Richmond lol

      driving the back streets is hell, and those back streets are basically all of Richmond

      This fucking bike lanes are an absolute abomination. They completely fucked the traffic in many parts of Richmond – Elizabeth st, Coppin st, I’m pro Bike riding it takes cars off the road sure, but the overreach and the execution of these bike lanes in Yarra has been ridiculous.

      Ok Millenial and Gen Z friends, here is our plan:

      Everyone gets a learner’s licence if you don’t already have a driver’s licence; if we don’t have cars, we buy or borrow cars from good friends, grandmas, or older brothers.

      And we all DRIVE, DRIVE and DRIVE around.

      No money is spent in restaurants, bakeries, or fancy bars. No, all our disposable income goes to petrol, and we keep the rest.

      For the next few months, everyone who can hops in the car during peak times and drives.

      If you have to commute in peak hours anyway, leave 30 minutes earlier and do an extra lap or two.
