Sydney marathon takes over Sydney streets and we like it.
“It’s so nice to have no cars on the road”
Thank you to those who donated to Sara’s Sydney Marathon fundraiser. Sara, Better Streets president and marathon runner, was able to raise $1000 for Better Streets!
Sara at the halfway point along ANZAC parade looking very happy.
Great work to the 35,000 marathon runners, and hundreds of volunteers and operation staff who managed the event. To manage a 42 kilometre route that went through the Sydney Harbour bridge, major corridors through the city and ANZAC parade is an epic achievement!
35,000 people and thousands of cheerleaders along ANZAC Parade
As you see thousands of runners being cheered on by friends, parents, pets and randoms, from the footpath, and along the light rail lines, it’s hard to imagine that these roads are used by motor vehicles. A space you can barely hear yourself and fear trying to cross the road without being run over.
So it is possible to shut down ANZAC parade ..... how can we use this knowledge to create more frequent Open Street events and create safer streets !
Effective and simple roads closures achieved with buses.
Low emission two person vehicle.
Clearways.
Cops on bikes enjoying the freedom.
