DoT has reported that they are finalising the treatment for Marine Parade.

The final design will include:

*updated intersection treatments to support people on bikes

*temporary trial infrastructure removed from road network including local side streets

*new road linemarking

*painted bike lane with increased green areas on Marine Parade/Jacka Boulevard

*retaining protected lane on Acland Street, and

*increased signage.

It's not clear why this decision has been made, as they also say the consultation showed general support for the safety treatments. I have written to the DoT asking if there is more data around crashes available.

Dear #doordash rider. I hope the next person who you ride into is feeling healther than I am and catches you up then punches you in the head. ps, try pulling out when you pass someone next time, not just riding through them and pushing them into parked cars #BikeTooter #Melbourne

You only target journalists when your enemy is the truth.

Gestern Abend waren wir bei unserer Nachbarin essen, die aus Adelaide und deren Eltern aus Litauen stammen. Ihr erster Versuch mit Apple crumble als Nachtisch, absolut geglückt. Dazu das richtige Quantum, wir fanden den Weg nach Hause und am Morgen sitze ich frisch geduscht und nicht ausgebuht am Frühstückstisch.

Gleich zu den ernsten Dingen des Lebens, das Auswechseln einer Firewall austesten. Ich spiele auch nächste Woche den Kabelumstecker am Sonntag.

The population growth of weird modern art exhibitions in Melbourne has so outstripped the capacity of their natural habitat of galleries that they have had to seek new habitats in fancy hotel bathrooms and bedrooms

The Almond tree has only just started to blossom, and this guy shows up to eat 'em early; and in broad daylight. #melbourne #Darebin #possum

pretty ominous scene with Gotham in the distance. #Melbourne

We by chance caught the Pride Train to Moorabbin today. Nice.

Replacing the Montague Street Bridge's crash protection beam so more trucks can safely hit it in future. #Melbourne

This weekend they’re testing the #Melbourne Metro Tunnel. Similar to last time passengers don’t get to ride through the tunnel. Another step towards opening. Hopefully soon, though at this point my guess is around November.

Government is closed today.
This is democracy manifest!

Nice piece about the origin of the magic. I used to drink coffee at Newtown SC in Fitzroy, was a cool cafe. Nowadays it's a French-style cafe called Awa, still a good place.

'“Around mid-morning,” recalls Zenon, “I took a break from the office to grab a coffee. But in winter, I wanted something that would last a bit longer, so I’d get a double-ristretto flat white.” A mouthful to order, and a chore to drink, the cool-brown dregs lacking foam and energy by the time the cup was nearing done.

'“So I said to Cate, let’s try a double-ristretto-three-quarter-flat-white…” . Ten syllables this time, but the hit was a hit.'
