Boroondara Council has stymied the construction of the long-awaited bike route linking Darebin with Kew by blocking the way for construction of the route to proceed. The objection rests on an argument that Willsmere Park in Kew will suffer as a result of having a bike route. Boroondara Councillor Phillip Healey is quoted as saying that bike path advocates who attended the council meeting 'should be ashamed of yourselves for coming in here and saying you are for the environment.' Interesting statement from a councillor who boasts of his environmental credentials on his website.
