Feedback about cyclovias

The first cyclovia in Australia was held on 28 May 2006 on Sydney Road. The feedback from all stakeholders (including traders, local government, state government, local residents and the community) has been extremely positive.

Government
   

Cr Anthony Halou
Mayor Moreland City Council
"... this is the most enjoyable day this year"

The Hon Peter Batchelor
Minister for Transport
"...Cyclovia certainly brought life to Sydney Road. It has been a great community event" (full media release of the Minister can be found here)

Mr Bernie Carolan
CEO MetLink Melbourne
"there is no reason why [cyclovia] can't spread from this one in Coburg and Brunswick to other areas. Using train and trams, public transport, along with cycling is a great combination to bring back life to the street"

Invitees Moreland
 
 
Local Traders
   

Invitees Moreland

Sydney Road, Brunswick, Traders Association
"...[Cyclovia] gave the opportunity for people to see many of the shops in our strip. Those that may normally be screened by parked cars, were quite visible, which is what we were aiming for."
(full article in this link)

Coburg Traders Association
"all the hard work that we have put over the last two months has paid-off... [Cyclovia Moreland] was a success."

 
 
Volunteers
         

“It was a wonderful day, I felt grateful and privileged to be part of this”
Fiona – Volunteer

"I think it was a great event - loved seeing the smiles on kids' faces as they wobbled by - and a feat of good partnering and good management - well done to you lot! I hope it happens again and grows across the city.”
Karin - Volunteer

“..I am very happy to say there was good teamwork and commaderie with my "crew" and would happily work with all of them again. Though tired, we all enjoyed our time on the day, and I'd like to add how rewarding it was for me. kind regards and look forward to the next one”
Helen – Team leader

Volunteers are needed in all Cyclovias with all kinds of skills, but mainly to assist with putting out signs, directing participants and giving out information. Previous experience is not necessary, we will train you. Additionally, traffic management training will be provided free of charge to some volunteers before the event. We are planning Cyclovias in all major cities in Australia.

If you would like to be a volunteer please write an email to info@cyclovia.org with your contact details, skills and interest.
