I grew up in Collingwood and cycled there for 10yrs. Johnston St is the obvious best route for a protected bicycle lane.

There are very few east-west cycle routes in Melbourne and
Johnston St intersects with a lot of existing and well used north-south cycling routes.

Adding protected bike lanes to Jonhston St would provide a great extension of the existing bicycle network.

We had the shortest route. Compared to last year there is literally no change in increased protection 😑

Normally I don't mind biking on Washington where one lane is bike/bus, but normally I'm not biking in morning rush hour & with a group

This #MBTA #SilverLine driver deliberately split our pack & cut us off at Newton St rather than wait the seconds it would have taken us to clear. Didn't love that! This is not a comfortable ages #8to80 bike facility. Plus always blocked by double parkers
