They are blaming the train station upgrade, however much of the issue is around closing the bike path that is the care and concern of the council (correct me and forward this if i am wrong).

20mm high, inoperative reflectors on edges of bike lanes

To the Office of Cycling and Walking...

 

Cc BikeSA and BISA

 

Along many bike lanes (for example Anzac Highway) there are many reflectors placed on, or near the white line.

 

The bike lane only applies for a couple of hours, so for most of the day, cyclists are moving in, and out of the lane, negotiating the reflectors that are as high as the height of their tyre.

 

If these extinct reflectors were of value to road safety it would be understandable, but 90% of them have been painted over, have car rubber over them, or worn off their relective surface.

 

There should be a prize for guessing the number of reflectors that do not work along the edge of the bike lane, yet are a 20mm high hazard to cyclists.

 

Please suggest how I can encourage the road authorities (both arterial and council roads) to remove this hazard.

Hazard - Tree overhang - Railway Tce - Cross Rd to Daws Road

To Marion Council council@marion.sa.gov.au

 

Hello

 

The trees and scrubs on the railway line side of Railway Tce, from Cross Rd to Daws Rd (Bikeway) overhang onto the road.

 

In many parts a cyclist is forced to ride more than 2 metres from the kerb.

 

Some spots are near intersections.

 

Passing vehicles do not expect a cyclist to change direction and move out into the road.

 

The risk of collision from a passing car, or at an intersection from a merging car is HIGH.

 

Please remove this hazard.

The others need attention also, but this is on the intersection and will cause damage to a bicycle or a fall.

Hazard - Birdwood Tce - 2 locations

To West Torrens Council csu@wtcc.sa.gov.au

 

There are two potholes forming on Birdwood Tce.

 

One is East of Oval Tce.

 

The other is at the corner of Birdwood Close.

 

This road has had multiple reports (see http://roadrepair.blogspot.com/search?q=birdwood )

 

Also, a couple of years ago a pothole in the same location was the basis of a claim against council for costs. The council claimed it was not liable "in Tort".

 

In the event of an incident due to the road surface on Birwood Tce, a case of FACTUAL CAUSATION would see the City of West Torrens liable (overridding any excemption by state Government or an "in Tort" scenario).

 

I hope you see this information as saving the City of West Torrens money AND working towards a safer environment for cyclist, pedestrians and motorists.
