[Anthony Lee]

Hi John,

When I rode my MTB and when I was living in Corinda I did it a couple of times.

Re: [bikeqld] St Lucia bikeway consultation Has anyone seen a bicycle on the already completed section? I’ve seen a couple of walkers over the time it’s been open.

Presumably this pathway is all about student and staff commuters to and from UQ. But the great volume of cyclists are the bunch riders early each morning and at other times on weekends. The one way option means that counter-clockwise River Riders will have a faster run along the Esplanade, and then run into traffic calming on Hillside Tce. Clockwise bunches will choose alternatives, probably using Hawken Drive and the shopping strip. That should be fun, shouldn’t it?

I guess Council regards bunch riders as merely a nuisance and not genuine cyclists who ride for a ‘serious’ purpose. But even these commuters don’t seem to be using the Hillside Tce path... I wonder if there is a traffic counter on it.

Then add in that Council is again "promising" to install the BAZ on The Esplanade while despite similar previous "promises" when Carawa Street was widened some 2 years ago and as part of Stage 1 of this "bikeway" along Hillside Terrace (the 20 year "bike route") which Council says is completed in 2008 ... where NEITHER have the BAZ despite regular requests and reminders.
