Need to Standardise Path and Pedestrian Safety Signage and Marking

-


Renwick Lane Leichhardt
Laneway, Sutherland
We need to improved and standardise pedestrian and cycle amenity and safety
path signage and marking to reinforce the law and in some cases to inform the etiquette including:

  • 10kmph on Road Shared Zones
  • Pedestrian/Cycle Shared Zones
  • Pedestrian/Cycle separated Zones
  • At Grade Pedestrian Crossings to include speed guidance
  • Wombat Crossing Signs to incorporate Pedestrian Crossing, Hump and Speed
  • Speed Limits on Footpaths and Shared Paths
  • That all Paths are OnLeash




Signage is inconsistent on Roads giving mixed messages to motorists and endangering pedestrians and cyclists.

    This poor old bit of bitumen doesn’t quite know if it’s a pedestrian crossing, bike lane or car parking spot..." https://twitter.com/victoriawalks/status/1158623870414311425?s=20

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.

Her application was "laid on the table" and was never dealt with. The stained glass window on the northern side of the church was restored in memory of the Williams' time at the church. "Back in the 1950's after first attending Sunday School in the morning the older children were then taken into the chu...
