"Gateway WA" releases video rendering of works along Tonkin
Postby HappyHumber » Thu Aug 21, 2014 1:20 pm
Bit disappointing on the resolution front, but interesting enough in what detail you can make out.
I dunno, I reckon the project could've saved a lot of money merely calming motorists nerves with loudspeakers and radio frequency-jacking tools, pumping that music through to people whilst stuck in traffic.
I'm optimistic they're going to complete some of the disparate stretches of Bike Paths that are there at the moment, but it'd be nice to see it projected in detail somewhere. You can sort of follow the pink/salmonny coloured lines either side of the roads on the fly throughs a bit higher above ground level.
Hit me up via the BNA dm; I'll get an alert. If y'know, you know.

Where the otherwise excellent Roe Hway path ends heading NE along the Roe H'way PSP at Welshpool and how (if at all) it plans to continue up and join the little "island" of paths around the AbernethyRd/Dundas/Freight Rail Line overpass. I think it's also referred to as the Daddow St. overpass/bridge.
[edit: basically traversing this map, from the usual compass point approaches]
But in essence. Yes... where the Shared paths are projected to be. That'd be nice
I think the Perth SE Metro corridor is a bit under represented on BNA.

I realise these things are pretty road centric.. but any insight ahead of time would be nice.

Personally it'll be a another safe training route and a good way to get to the hills.

This will provide some great loops tho.
There is a real need for a path on Roe over the railway bridge

Looks like it's all grade-separated except for Abernethy Road where you will have to cross at the lights. I am really looking forward to it being finished.

+ 1 to that. That area has been a huge dead spot for cycling infrastructure. The new shared paths look great!wellington_street wrote:Looks like it's all grade-separated except for Abernethy Road where you will have to cross at the lights. I am really looking forward to it being finished.

It is not immediately clear where to go at the Leach Hwy/Abernethy Rd intersection, but that will improve with signage and you won't actually use that once the Tonkin Hwy path is open anyway. From there I followed the path all the way to Stanton Rd, then turned back for a look at the airport viewing area, and then followed the signs to the international terminal. The path leads right up to the terminal front doors, and if you like planes has better views than the viewing area:
After riding to work most shifts for eight years down Horrie Miller Drive, and the surrounding roads to get to it, this new path is heaven.

It will be some great cycling for those working around the airport.
Only prob is on the north side of Tonkin it doesn't really continue along the hwy very well, can't wait til they extend it up to Morley drive.

Northlink will definitely be giving us a PSP from at least Collier Rd to Ellenbrook - not sure if it will be just shoulder riding beyond there to Muchea.
