Happy New Year! The new bike path is open on Vic bridge

Looks good, but it really should have some shading for pedestrians and cyclists. Unfortunately, based on the render below, it doesn’t seem like this is planned

Shade structures have been delayed indefinitely due to BCC budget cuts.

They have been re-approved recently. Likely being installed this year. (I’ll double check with council over the next week).
The Melbourne street section is still not open nor is platform 3 .

The Victoria Bridge bike path is currently operating as a shared path with pedestrians, while the footpath is closed for refurbishment works.
Planned, budgeted and funded for shading on one one side of the river, however it was temporarily removed from project without any indication of how temporary this project deviation will be. This is the most disappointing part of the upgrades to existing infrastructure. Apart from King George Square shading is one of the most asked for items by our members who reside in Brisbane. Shading for walking is essential for people to use public transport more regularly.

I specifically choose to catch the bus from QBS or KGS to South Brisbane during the day because of the lack of shading. I’d much rather get the exercise and walk for such a short distance, but particularly in Summer, it isn’t very nice.
