This cycleway according to the Cairns Post has come under threat from certain councillors and residents. It seems that certain businesses are also up in arms about car parking. Some concern is felt about muddies playground.

After much consideration by council staff and councillors, this plan has evolved as being the best option with least disruptions, with least road crossings and best safety features.

I have been informed by Cr Kirsten Lesina, Chair of the Cairns Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy Focus Group, Cairns Regional Council, that councillors have been inundated with anti cycleway emails.

Cr Lesina has requested me to contact cyclists asking you to email her with your support for the Aeroglen to CBD cycleway and any comments you wish to make about the bike route.
