[CAMWEST-discuss] Closed cycleway - South street Rydalmere

[Robert Ching]

I am happy to help along with some colleagues. Let us know. Maybe I can
spare a day and generate a pamphlet, stand on a the corner of BP, asking for
support of people who are inconvenienced daily but this unnecessary detour.

Subject: [CAMWEST-discuss] Closed cycleway - South street Rydalmere

 

I haven't used this forum so I don't really know how it works. 

 

Anyway, I have observed that Parramatta council have built a short section
of cycleway that joins the western end of South Street Rydalmere with the
UWS campus cycleway. The South street cycleway includes a new bridge so it
is an expensive short section but will offer a safe alternative to Victoria
road. All the works have been completed for at least a year, perhaps longer,
but have been fenced off. The result is that people still need to use the
footpath on Victoria Road to get to the UWS campus.

 

I rang Parramatta Council about this today and they said it was simply an
issue of getting the solicitors from the council and the Rheem factory
(owners of some of the land) to finalise some paperwork. Apparently it has
been at this stage for a very long time.

 

I was wondering if CAMWEST had tried to exert some influence to accelerate
the opening? If not could this be done? I had thought about writing to
Council but I expect a cycling association would have better leverage.
