Brisbane

Unfortunately I don't think this is a good sign of any serious change in direction for BCC. Sylvan Rd is on the border between a ward controlled by a comparatively pro-bike LNP councillor and a Greens councillor in a ward that the LNP thinks they have a serious chance of winning back.

Dickson St is in an extremely safe LNP ward controlled by a rabidly anti-bike councillor, in an area where the state MP is also rabidly anti-bike, and there's a very loud and well-organised (even if they're small in terms of percentage of total population) anti-bike NIMBY group in the area too.

There's also the fact that Sylvan Rd is completely unambiguously a through street that already has significant parking restrictions. Dickson St is, rightly or wrongly, perceived as more of a residential street, where people feel entitled to on-street parking.
