I grew up in a family of 3 boys in walk up flats.
Played in the driveway & out in parks & at the beach.
Convenient, diverse public spaces & amenities in walking distance crucial.
Why #publicsydney so important… & not just in Sydney

Sydney’s historic St James Station in the city centre - an assembly of structural vaults & grids, directly under Hyde Park’s promenade & Archibald Fountain.
Recently carefully restored by TfNSW, long term thinking & ready another century of use ahead

An important reminder.
Terms/regulations such as ‘jaywalking’ are an easily overlooked part of the erosion of our rights in public space
Applies equally in #publicsydney
Not so fast flogging off such prime public assets; rather than a developers smorgasbord, we need more parks & public spaces, connected streets, schools & social services.
Don’t rashly trash the historic treasures of #publicsydney for #privatisedsydney

After all the praise upon its recent opening, had to see Sydney’s marvellous new #Greenway from Dulwich Hill to Leichhardt, trailing Light Rail Line.
Outstanding example of #infrastructuredonewell, particularly that it passes through a catalogue of other types of urban infrastructure
#publicsydney
With the super-successful opening of the northern cycleway to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, surely now overdue to fix easier approach on southern side.
Together these projects will connect to @cityofsydney existing cycle network, & so further boost ridership
