Carindale bike shelter – have you got an access card?

June 29, 2011 in Brisbane City Council, Environment, Transport by Genevieve Robey | 4 comments

Today I got my free access card so I can use the secure 24/7 bike shelter at Carindale. It was a quick and straight forward process.

Facilities such as this are important to encourage cycling, especially at a high-traffic place such as Westfield Carindale.

It ‘should’ have more bikes in it than it does, but, like with so many healthy and environmentally friendly concepts, we need to un-learn many habits to make use of them.

I want Carindale Connect to help highlight local facilities and options like this that 1) locals may not know about or 2) need more promotion / questions answered to encourage people to make the transition to.

[updated] Carindale bus station – park and ride facilities?

March 1, 2011 in Transport by Genevieve Robey | 9 comments

[Update to post, 23 June] The comments at the end of this post are worthwhile reading and we welcome you to participate. As I mentioned earlier this month the petition for the Park and Ride at Carindale, which obtained 274 signatures, was referred to the Minister for Transport, Annastacia Palaszczuk MP.

Ms Palaszczuk has said that Carindale is not considered a suitable site for a park ‘n’ ride.

Also of interest, an article in the Courier Mail today reports that Westfield Chermside is to introduce paid parking after three-hour limit for free parking.

On Twitter today, Cr Adrian Schrinner said: “if paid parking is introduced at Chermside, it’s only a matter of time before it comes to Carindale and other major shopping centres.”
