South Brisbane residents have been left outraged after the Brisbane City Council of at least 40 trees to upgrade the Kangaroo Point Bikeway.

Resident David Russell, who lives in an apartment that overlooks the bikeway, has said despite several months of protesting, council ignored their cries and pushed forward with the expansion plans.

Chair of the body corporate at Riverview Gardens, Anne Sutton, says the council “hasn’t done their research into what options they have for cyclists, motorists and pedestrians.”
