Local Council Elections results are a bit of a mixed bag for active transport in inner Melbourne
City of Merri-bek looks good for a majority of councilors with good support for active transport.
City of Maribyrnong looks like it might be able to cobble together some majority for active transport.
City of Melbourne doesn't look like it's got enough support for expansion of active transport...but maybe enough to prevent it's removal.
City of Port Philip doesn't look like it has enough support for active transport and elected at least 2 councilors that were explicitly anti bicycle infrastructure.
City of Yarra is unclear but doesn't look good. Stephen Jolly's (Socialist) group of independents (YarraForAll) seems to have got a large number of the seats but none of them engaged with Streets People Love and I can't find any mention of active transport in any of their campaign materials.
City of Darebin had all the elected councilors engage with the Streets People Love survey...but most of them only got 1 or 2 ticks so not good support there.
