There was a sweeper out this afternoon. On the way back from basketball training I was able to see most of the sand has been removed but not all. I might try for some more photos tomorrow.

Did someone report the sand on the path? If so, how, where? Etc

Hi cherrycam, please report to City of Joondalup. The more individuals who do, the quicker they should respond.

BIT SLOW TO CATCH UP WITH VOTE
A SLOW point has been installed by mistake on Palmerston Street because Vincent council workers were using old plans. Whoopsy.

Acting CEO Mike Rootsey says the slow point was “originally recommended [by staff] due to residential demand to prevent rat-running and speeding cars on the street and help to slow down traffic in a key cycling corridor”.

From the Minister of Transport [Press Release]
A total of 32 local governments will receive more than $2.7million to further improve Western Australia’s bike network, including bike paths around schools, through the State Government’s latest grants program.

Transport Minister Dean Nalder said the investment would see the creation of 22.5 kilometres of bike paths and 3.2km of on-road bikeways.

“Of the 53 projects, 14 are near schools and make good on our pledge in the Western Australian Bicycle Network Plan 2014-31 to improve safety for school children,” Mr Nalder said.

Five local bicycle plans will be prepared across the State and will help guide future grant submissions.

Overall, the State Government has committed $39.95million until 2017-18 for the Principal Shared Path program, local government grants and Perth CBD projects.

Each year, grants are provided to local governments for cycle paths and the development of bike plans through the Regional Bicycle Network and Perth Bicycle Network.

Can't seem to find the projects on the Minister's link. All they have is the application forms for last year!

Morley Drive Shared Path, Dianella
Light Street to Wellington Road (south side)
$101,091 2.5m red asphalt shared path
Length: 820m
This is welcome after about 7 years of waiting, I saw this proposal on the Stirling website way back. A shame I will be moving soon! It is odd that they haven't done it all the way to Alexander Drive, where there are bike lanes on The Strand to the south and Centro Dianella shops a few hundred metres away.

Much progress has been made with the Morley Drive path. Extra road crossings have been added and a connecting path to a nearby school has also been completed. It appears they're rushing to complete it this week.
