Ah, that might explain why I have not seen too many folk using it yet! <br>It's not officially open yet. :(<br><br>How's all the approach infrastructure going? Is it ready to cope with <br>all the additional traffic after the sausage sizzle? That green zone <br>(well it looks green during the day anyway) thru the busway completed <br>and signed yet? Have they got a traffic calm area designated across Dean <br>St like on Miskin Rd in time for the grand opening?<br><br>When I noticed that the small white bike symbols on the white concrete <br>had worn away just a few months after it was completed, I put it to MR <br>that they did a shonky job and just sprayed a bit of acrylic or aerosol <br>paint there. MR told me that it was unfortunate but it rained just after <br>they were done and they got washed away (suggesting it was acrylic at <br>least). Pretty bloody amazing as it did not rain a drop for two weeks <br>before it was completed and if they had used the correct long life two <br>part paint it would have been dry in 10 minutes and unaffected by rain <br>or water. Methinks they lie. Also when I questioned them on the needs <br>for a small triangle garden mid track, they filled it in with green <br>concrete. When I questioned the merits of having a 500mm strip of grass <br>between the tracks they told me it was a standard design 'on all MR <br>bikeways' and would be no trouble maintaining. I pointed out that their <br>Fig Tree Pocket to the river section was the only other one I knew of <br>and that it had had its grass section replaced with artificial grass for <br>that very reason. Methinks the left hand don't know what the right hand <br>is doing in MR.<br><br>k<br><br><br><br> <br><br>Ian Lister wrote:<br>> As you might have seen elsewhere, the Toowong ped/bike bridge is <br>> (finally) getting an official opening this Sunday, between 8:00am and <br>> 9:30am.<br>><br>> http://www.cbdbug.org.au/corroToowongBridgeOpening20090807.pdf<br>><br>> Should make Mich happy? :)<br>><br>> Cheers,<br>><br>> Ian<br>><br>> _______________________________________________<br>> bikeqld mailing list<br>> bikeqld@bikeqld.org.au<br>> http://www.bikeqld.org.au/<br>> http://www.bikeqld.org.au/mailman/listinfo/bikeqld<br>> This list has NO affiliation with Bicycle Queensland.<br>><br><br><br><br /><hr />Get free photo software from Windows Live <a href='http://www.windowslive.com/online/photos?ocid=PID23393::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:SI_PH_software:082009' target='_new'>Click here.</a></body>
