Meeting WIth Jenny Leong MP

​We recently met with Jenny Leong MP, Greens member for Newtown, to discuss our ideas for improving King St and local streets in the area.
As we all know, the Westconnex project has meant that much of the through traffic has been diverted away from King St. This presents a unique opportunity to rethink the way we use this space and make it better for businesses, pedestrians, and cyclists alike. With this in mind, we shared our vision for King St with Jenny, and she was receptive to our ideas.

In particular, we talked about the importance of 30kmh local streets in Newtown. With narrow footpaths and streets, it can be challenging for pedestrians and bike riders to navigate safely. Jenny agreed that this would be a great solution and pledged to follow up with Cate Faerman, the Greens shadow Minister for Active Transport, to seek endorsement of our key asks.
​
Finally, we discussed the potential introduction of e-scooters in Sydney. Jenny agreed that if e-scooters were to be introduced, it would be important to keep them and bike riders off busy footpaths. We are thrilled to have her support on this issue and look forward to working together to create a safer and more enjoyable environment for everyone.
