3.3 Shellharbour LGA
a. Remove vegetation on East side of Windang
Bridge to improve visibility along the shared
use path. Vegetation should be replaced with
low plantings that will not obstruct vision.
b. Improve kerb ramp at start of shared use
path on Headland Parade, Barrack Point.
The ramp is too steep and unsafe for cyclists
and also poses danger to the disabled in
wheelchairs. Consider relocating the disabled
parking spot to the opposite end of car park,
as it presently obstructs access to the shared
path and would be safer at the other end of
the car park.
c. Add shared path symbols and line markings
where the path crosses the entrance to car
parks and at street crossings.
d. Remove bollard type railings and replace
with holding rails and/or car access barriers
(as per RTA Guidelines) at all points where
bollard type railings endanger cyclists. Car
exclusion railings should only be used where
car access is an issue.
e. Remove ‘end shared use path’ sign on the
shared path at Barrack Point as the path
continues past that point.
f. Repair shared use path along Reddall
Parade, between View Street and Windang
Street, or consider relocating the path as it
will continue to be damaged by tree roots in
its present location.
g. Relocate the bollard from the side of path at
the Northern entrance to the Park, opposite
the Surf Rider Caravan Park, Barrack Point.
The bollard is a hazard for unsuspecting
cyclists. The bollard should be relocated a
metre back from the edge of the path (see
RTA guidelines).
h. The section of path South of Dunmore Station
requires regular sweeping due to runoff from
road works. The hazard appears to have
been caused by the RTA failing to complete
the project in a safe manner. There is also a
need to redirect the stormwater drain away
from the path and into the existing creek and
remove the remaining section of the old road.
i. In addition to the path cleaning we hope
council can bring the issue to the RTA’s
attention.
3.4 Kiama LGA
a. Overhanging vegetation needs trimming at
a number of locations along the Coastline
Cycleway. An inspection by council staff, and
including local cyclists, to identify all areas
that need pruning should be arranged.
b. Repair hole in path just south of Bombo
station.
