Coroner calls on State Government to provide extra funding for safe shared pathways

FROM
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23516990-2862,00.html

April 10, 2008 02:40pm
A DITCH on a Melbourne bike path was a "hidden trap" that directly
contributed to the death of a cyclist, a coroner has found.

Robert Graham, 55, broke his neck and subsequently died after hitting
a culvert and being flung over the handlebars of his bicycle on a
popular bike track in Melbourne's north on February 27, 2007.

The impact severed his spinal chord and paralysed him from the neck down.

He died on March 2 last year after agreeing to have his life support
at the Austin Hospital switched off.

Coroner Dyson Hore-Lacy today found that the culvert was a "classic,
hidden trap" and that the local Nillumbik Shire Council had a duty of
care to maintain the bike path.

The culvert "caused Mr Graham's fall and contributed to his death," Mr
Hore-Lacy said in his finding.

Mr Hore-Lacy delivered two key recommendations in his finding.

He called on the Victorian government to consider providing extra
funding to local councils to allow them to maintain and develop safe
shared pathways.

He also recommended the government undertake a review of Australian
standards and guidelines relevant to Victoria for shared pathways.

Ben (Cc mail@holdfast.sa.gov.au)

I left a message this week on your phone in regards to two hazards
that you replied to on 26 Feb (Scott and Oleandar streets).

Your email stated they were the care and concern of SA Water.

SA Water have suggested the hazard is the responsibility of the council.

I would prefer to speak to you about these two hazards (Trim 08/7220
and Trim 08/7221) before raising this to an "Issue" level at
http://roadrepair.wikispaces.com/issues+-+south+australia



By CC to mail@holdfast.sa.gov.au

Please advise me if Ben Wright is absent and there is an expected
delay in his response.

Hazard, Cycle path, Celtic Ave

Hello council@marion.sa.gov.au

There are many faults in the road surface in the Celtic Ave bike lane
heading East from Bradley to South roads.

Some faults are uneven service covers, some are dips in bitumen, and
some areas have bitumen missing.

There are at least 6 hazards in this section that exceed 20mm in
depth. Where the bitumen is missing the edge is 90degrees.

I did not have time to photograph and record each fault as I had an
appointment to meet.

I can be contacted on 0418 833 786 if more information is needed.

This fault has got a lot worse in 24 hours.

This is due to the gas company contractor using the original soil (sandy) as fill.

Holdfast Council has been advised of the severity of the hazard 13 Feb (11.30pm).
