New Bike Blackspot App

The Green’s have launched their “Bike Blackspot” app. In short – “log a problem, describe it in a few words, take a photo if you like and Bingo – it’s sent to those who need to know”.

The great thing about this App is that it will build up (over time) a broader picture of those areas on the road network that cause frustration and safety concerns to riders. It also notifies the relevant authorities of the problem to facilitate remediation.

Let us know what you think…down load the app http://www.markparnell.org.au/campaign.php?campaignn=54

Blasting closing Veloway – Secombe Rd to Majors Rd

The veloway will be subject to ongoing short term closures to ensure public safety during controlled blasting. Given the close proximity of the Patrick Jonker Veloway to the controlled blasting activities, cyclists will not be able to access the veloway between Majors Road and Seacombe Road for up to 1.5 hours as a safety precaution when blasting is occurring.

·         Veloway closed from Mid-July (between Majors Road and Seacombe Road) from 12.00pm – 1.30pm on days of blasting.

·         Blasting is expected to occur two to three times a week and continue for the next 9 months.

Cyclists can register to receive blast notifications and will receive SMS notice in advance of each short term closure. To register for advanced blast notice, please call 1300 626 097 or email SEDenquiries@bajvsed.com.au

On-site signage will also be in place to notify cyclists of the status of access to the veloway.
