I am astonished at the outrage expressed by Bradley Perrett, a journalist who is usually much more rational in his writing ("Cycling fetish hits motorists hard", Opinion, 5/1).
Traffic has not been strangled in Darby Street and Hunter Street and it works just fine with one lane in each direction on these roads. This is the commercial CBD of a city that aspires to a greater future. This city must allow for much more pedestrian movement, and even speeds of 40kmh are too high for a pedestrian precinct, such has been established along the Honeysuckle strip.
