Council Candidate Assessments
| Full responses | |
Bicycle Tasmania invited candidates* to respond to these 3 questions:
- How have you supported cycling in the past?
- Do you support the infrastructure projects proposed by BT in your Council area?
- Do you support increased car parking in your local CBD?
Here is our assessment of their level of support for improved bike infrastructure. This assessment represents a summary over their answers to the three questions plus a recognition of demonstrated past advocacy for bike infrastructure.

Good point, Alasdair, we’ll fix that now!

Why did Jeff Briscoe only get one ‘smiley face’? He has been the loudest proponent of the Battery Point Walkway and without him, the proposal wouldn’t be where it is now. -
Dale Reardon here. I can assure your readers and members that I will support the proposal you have in Kingborough, namely the Bonnet Hill / Channel Highway proposal. Please contact me to discuss any other issues you might have. Dale. -
My response sent September was not included in the summary regards Jeff Briscoe
