I read it but looks very much to me like political verbiage
The proof of the pudding ... New infrastructure is being developed, new roads, influx of population, - the big takeaway is economic growth at all costs - the "transformative power of cycling" as an ethos directing policy and development is not visible - as any ride around the peninsula on non-CTCT day or indeed, on the ride back home after the event shows us. More cars, more LDVs, more traffic, while existing infrastructure rots and is used as taxi drop off and ad hoc loading zone ......
Let's not forget the origins of CTCT - the big ride in to protest the lack of infrastructure - this is now about the natural beauty of our city and economic growth - the raison d'etre is a distant struggling also ran afterthought. This is the nauseating part because we know the people who have died and some of us see the real potential of the bicycle as a solution to the mess that plays itself out daily on the roads
And to edit it - I don't appreciate the "some peo[le aren't happy unless they moaning" stuff - it's more playing the man instead of the issue - I'm open to having positive developments beyond the lip service paid in the draft policy on NMT and the political theatrics pointed out. Where are the actual improvements that show that cycling is in any way a priority - not only for the privileged sports people but as a solution to an integrated plan to improve the liveability of the urban environment?
