Re: Hazard - Low bushes - Raglan Ave

To Marion Council council@marion.sa.gov.au (Cc the Admin Officer and posted on http://roadrepair.blogspot.com)

A Big Hearty THANKS for your quick response.

There are times that my efforts seem a waste of time. I have been called "Bogus" and "Un-Australian". More recently a friend told me i was a winger, and someone on a cyclist forum told me I was "Wasting the time of authorities".

Cycling home tonight, seeing the great job Marion Council had done tidying up the trees, I felt that maybe my efforts are not in vain. Sadly other cyclists will not recognise yours and my efforts to improve their ride.

Subject: Hazard - Low bushes - Raglan Ave


 To Marion Council

Heading Nth East on Railway Tce, the trees are very low where the bike path
goes onto the footpath. (Map and photo attached)

In addition to impact hazard, the visibility is poor, which nearly caused
an accident with a pedestrian.

Please trim the trees to a height greater than 2100mm. This is the height
of the top of a helmet of a cyclist who is 1950mm tall.
