Reports Officer comment:-

Update: 25/6/04

Over the past 9 years, 199 reports have now been recorded, inspected, forwarded to many people and we have achieved a considerable improvement in the bikeway network, not only for cyclists of all ages but for people with disabilities who ride tricycles and wheelchairs, people pushing prams and walking the dog, pedestrians etc. Many works still need to be done. We are concerned that small works could receive attention and also that bike lanes on local sub-arterial and collector roads are a safety priority. Many of these roads have not been reduced to the 50 kmh speed limit.

Sorry, the web master and the reports officer are trying to keep an update on reports that still need attention. If you see something that has been done please let us know. We cannot be in all places at once so your help will be appreciated. Email
