Heads up to all walking and cycling advocates.

Parramatta City Council has opened up public consultation about its master plan for a major east–west street through its CBD: https://www.cityofparramatta.nsw.gov.au/about-parramatta/news/media-release/share-your-vision-on-the-transformation-of-george-street

George St is particularly important, because it connects with the future Parramatta Metro Station.

It also has Parramatta Park and the famous gate houses at one end, and it also crosses both Church St and Horwood Place.

While cycling doesn't seem to be on the agenda, really this would be an ideal street to run a protected bike lane down. That would provide an east–west cycling corridor through the middle of the Parra CBD.

From the council:

"Plans to refresh Parramatta’s iconic George Street in the CBD as part of a streetscape master plan to improve the landscape and revitalise the historic neighbourhood are open for community feedback.

"The project focuses on the stretch from O’Connell Street on the west, through the future Civic Link at Horwood Place to Harris Street on the east.

"Design features include the installation of street furniture, CCTV cameras and fibre, tree planting, new granite pavers and the potential for outdoor dining and the community is invited to have their say before a draft master plan is developed."

Yesterday, we went on a #walking trip in #Exmoor, which is in #Somerset, despite the name. I had been planning a round #walk from #Dulverton to the #TarrSteps since last summer and this #BankHoliday weekend is a good time to have it as the weather is better, though not too hot, the days are longer, and there's a spare day for recovery. My wife used a #pedometer app to record the journey and it clocked in at 24.2 km and she recorded nearly 36,000 steps in eight hours, including breaks.

I want a Romeo and Juliet remake with pigeons. If we can make 267 Rocky movies and a bunch of Paranormal Activity ones, we can also make this.
