The Age reports on Critical Mass: Sydney Road: The 9km corridor that’s recorded 279 cyclist crashes but still doesn’t have a protected bike lane

https://archive.is/PfgEs

The long-running dispute over use of Sydney Road has reignited, with traders and cyclists at loggerheads over a plan to remove car parking from the busy arterial in Melbourne’s inner north in favour of protected bike lanes. Cycling groups and the Victorian Greens are renewing their long-running campaign for the city’s second-most dangerous road to remove parking for a six-month trial ahead of the closure of the Upfield bike path.

The proposed LXRP detours won't allow many riders who currently use the Upfield Path to keep riding during construction of the Brunswick Skyrail. So how are they going to get around?

What's going to keep Sydney Road traders doing business during construction of the Brunswick Skyrail? Detours that don't take anyone to the shops and construction that blocks pedestrians getting there?

Or accessible trams stops and protected bike lanes that ensure the street remains accessible to locals? (link to article in comments)
