Council Resolutions on Bike Lanes – Update

On 20 October, a Councillor lodged two rescission motions seeking to rescind (overturn) two resolutions from the 18 October Council meeting. These were the resolution to make the Kent Road, Pascoe Vale bike lanes permanent; and the resolution to install protected bike lanes on De Carle Street, Coburg.

Under Council’s Governance Rules, the rescission motions are valid and must be referred to a Council meeting for consideration. So, at the next scheduled Council meeting, 8 November 2023, Council will debate the rescission motions and vote on whether to overturn those two decisions.

(The 18 October Kent Road bike lane resolution itself did follow a decision made by Council that night to rescind (overturn) the earlier resolution on the topic, made on 13 September.)
