The following residents of the ACT draw the attention of the Assembly to the repeated theft and vandalism of bicycles parked at the Phillip Avenue tram stop. This becomes a disincentive to use active transport and the tram network.
Vandalism has included attempts to steal bike tyres. A recent attempt left the wheel attached but not secured which when unnoticed by the rider can cause accidents for bike rides commuting to/from tram. This could result in significant injuries.
ACT policing have no interest in investigating bicycle thefts and so there is no deterrence in place.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to support installation of CCTV and more secure bike cages at the Phillip Avenue tram stop.
