[tayser]

See video: http://media.theage.com.au/news/nati...l?from=newsbox

from the 10 News segment:

- 10% of "vehicles" entering the CBD are bikes
- veloway to be attached to the existing outer City Loop rail viaduct
- first stage Southern Cross station to Flinders Street station
- potentially extended further north through Docklands (could connect with the Moonee Ponds/Maribyrnong trails that exist now) and to the east along the Main Yarra trail.
