It is becoming clearer by the day that the use of elevated rail in sections of the Dandenong rail corridor will provide a once-in-a-generation opportunity for an extended, well-connected and attractive bike route for 17km through Melbourne’s south east.

This can only be good for the safety of our community.

Too many people have died or been seriously injured at train crossings and a further bike route means an increase in the opportunity for everyone to stay healthy.
