So how does one get from West End onto the Centennial Bikeway at North 
Quay using the new bridge? I knew it was going to be a bit round about 
but really, it seems impossible without getting onto the footpath somewhere.

The yellow brick road, or in this case the green pavement paint road 
seems to get you to the KGS bike parking station and marginally to the 
Roma St Parklands but nowhere else.

If you come off the bridge and head up Tank St to George St, what's the 
deal with turning left to go down George St to then go left again down 
Herschel or Makerston St to get to the bikeway via the BAZ's on those 
streets? It would seem that you are to turn left when you get the green 
left turn arrow at George St but there are also left turning cars in the 
Tank St car lane adjacent to the bike lane which is dangerous as a 
turning cyclist will be slow to get up to speed and a car rushing up 
Tank St to catch the green arrow onto George St may not expect traffic 
on George St.

So when you get down to North Quay you need to pedal all the way back up 
to Adelaide St to be able to use the ride across facility there. The 
Makerston St and Herschel St ramps to the bikeway are pedestrian 
accessible only via the pedestrian crossings.

You can't ride up George St the other way, directly to Adelaide St as 
Adelaide St only allows a left turn at North Quay and the bike ride over 
is on the other side of Adelaide St.

If you use the Vic Bridge, you are no better off. It seems like the 
Goodwill Bridge is the only connection from that side of town.

Or is there some secret route I am missing?
