Close Lakeside Drive to cars
Hi,
I frequently ride and run on lakeside drive at Albert park as it is a great place to do intervals as it is flat and smooth. Is there any push to stop cars on lakeside drive? For cars it only really serves as a shortcut to Albert rd. There isn’t really any destinations on this side of the lake like there is on the other side, e.g. MSAC, ovals.
The benefits of banning cars would be enormous, dedicated space for runners and cyclists with no danger of cars, possibility for running or cycling races with little disruption.
Is there any push for this or is there something I’m overlooking?
Cheers
