Forgotten on the backburner

I have been travelling along Ocean Beach Rd for many years now.

On the southern side between Veron Rd and Dunban Rd, including Rogers Park, we don't have a footpath.

The northern side appears to have always had a footpath.

As both sides of the road pay their rates, where is the equity in this?

Token effort has been made with a footpath on the southern side for one block, opposite the school crossing.

It then reverts back to the Third World goat track it has been for years.

One wonders how long this was put on a backburner before eventually being forgotten, like many forgotten things on another forgotten part of the Peninsula.
