  • Cr Johnston calling out Council's inaction on a petition to reduce the speed limit on the Corso, which forms part of the River Loop in her ward.

    She points out examples of how "Council will jump for a marginal LNP member" but won't do anything to keep people safe in her ward.

    The petition isn't even calling for much. Most of the Corso is 50 km/h. A small bit of it near the UQ bridge is 40 km/h. A small bit at the other end is 60 km/h. The petition is only calling to reduce that 60 km/h section to 50.

    The whole street should be a 40 zone, given its use as a major cycling commuting route but a secondary driving route.

    • Cr Johnston moves an amendment which would reduce the speed limit as an "immediate trial", "pending the speed limit review". (Of reducing the 60 to 50.)

      • It takes 13 months to get the speed limit review done, she says.

        Of local residents, 86% were in favour of (at least) this. Around 30% even said to reduce it to 40 km/h.

        • The LNP, of course, votes it down. They contribute nothing to the debate before doing so.
