Hi Moreland BUG, vicBUGchat and Critical Mass lists,

 

As you probably know, the EastLink freeway will be opened this Sunday for a Community Day, inviting cyclists to ride it before it becomes clogged up with cars. Some folks have decided to join in the event, but bearing signs and banners to protest rather than celebrate the opening of yet another freeway – a sensible position to take methinks in this time of peak oil and climate change!

 

Details below.

 

Cheers, Anna

 

 

EASTLINK OPENING PROTEST

 

Come along and attend the Eastlink community day next Sunday the 15th of June. We're pretty disappointed that the community have been invited along to "celebrate" the construction of this new freeway when we should all be thinking forward to public transport and low emissions transport solutions. Make your own sign like ours and come along to the fun run. We'll be walking it.

 

Lill, Ali and Steph.
