Controversy continues in the wake of a City of Sydney Council vote to turn the T2 building at Taylor Square into a bike hub.

Liberal Councillor Edward Mandla said the decision to create the bike hub was rushed through by Council in the same way the disjointed bike lane network was.

“The Council is crashing through this bike hub as they’re in a panic because the community’s waking up that a great piece of historical property is being squandered,” said Mr Mandla.

Mr Mandla questioned the decision to award the tender to a sole business owner who will have to manage both retail operations and industry groups.
