Melbourne

A PLAN to replace a lane of traffic with a bike lane on a busy East Melbourne street has sparked a storm of protest.
The city council wants to build a new super lane for cyclists on Albert St.
But businesses along the street said the $800,000 project was lunacy and would increase traffic congestion at all hours.
…
Spokesman Brian Negus said it generally favoured separate bike lanes, but not at the cost of increasing congestion.
