[bikeqld] Centenary-Ipswich Motorway intersection

[DAVID HORTON]

I was speaking to one of the engineers some months ago and there were plans 
to extend the western freeway bikepath out beyond Ipswich road. I got lost 
in the description because I don't know the roads out there. The crossing at 
Sumners road is moving further along towards Dandenong Road so the path will 
be further away from the freeway than it is at present.

That said, the issue I had with the access from Sumners road onto the 
bikepath being closed doesn't seem to have been addressed (no signs, new 
ramps).
