Super Tuesday & Inner West Tram Overcrowding

-

Super Tuesday - Cycling

This morning was Super Tuesday

"Super Tuesday is Australia’s biggest annual commuter bike count. The count records volumes, gender, and movement flow of people on bikes, in partnership with councils and local community groups." www.bicyclenetwork.com.au

 Ann was counting at the corner of Collins and Johnston Street and her colleague was at the corner of Booth and Johnston Street. 

 

 

Inner West Tram Line over crowding


Fortunately, I was heading to Dulwich Hill and not the City from the Rozelle Bay Light Rail Stop, as the Tram going in the opposite direction was packed. Some people were left on the station to wait 8 minutes for the next tram.

In 2016, the Inner West Tram Line reached its 2026 Capacity.- Open Opal data offers valuable insights for planners and developers, 4 May 2017


To address overcrowding and passengers being left on the platform, the light rail needs more trams and we need two tracks all the way to Dulwich Hill. More at https://www.jamieparker.org/overcrowding

White's Creek Catchment in the Rain

Checked out White's Creek Catchment in the rain with a few long time residents including an 82 year old who was born at the Private Hospital where the Leichhardt Bolo is and moved to where she lives now when she was 1. She has seen a few changes and people come and go.    Ferris Lane looked fabulous!    The new lintel in Ferris Street seemed to be working well - residents have worked with council to make this happen along with cleaning out nearby drains and gutters.   Evan Jones Playground had a tree down. And a few other trees need mulching.     Water was flowing out of the grate where Styles Street crosses White's Creek and different drivers approached the puddle. The 150 year old salt glazed pipe was still working too!    Photos and Videos at https://www.instagram.com/p/CMvolNkD2Pb/

The Rev. Leonard Mervyn Williams and his wife Dilys came to the Hunter Baillie in 1956. The church was in decline and the threat of falling masonry had made it impossible to obtain public liability insurance. (p39, Hunter Baillie ) Dilys conducted alternate services at Leichhardt and Hunter Baillie Presbyterian churches with her husband and was inducted, in 1969, as the first woman Elder in NSW. (p41, Hunter Baillie ). Ferguson Library Archivist mentioned in her talk at the church on 4 September 2010, that Dilys Williams in the 1930s had applied to the Presbyterian Church of Australia General Assembly to be Accepted as a candidate for the Ministry.

"Back in the 1950's after first attending Sunday School in the morning the older children were then taken into the chu...
