Officers recommend cycleway removal

The timing of the announcement for Federal funding of a missing section of the Gosford to Umina Beach cycleway (Peninsula News edition 227) was somewhat unfortunate.

At about the same time, council officers, after some 12 months of deliberation, decided to permanently remove a vital link to the Peninsula coastal cycleway.

This link is the contra-flow cycleway along the one-way section of The Esplanade between the two surf clubs (Umina and Ocean Beach).

Cyclists travelling westwards will, therefore, be obliged to dismount and walk this 500m section or to risk life and limb on congested West St.

Concerned users and supporters of the coastal cycleway should note that this recommendation is likely to be put before council for approval early next month.

But all readers might like to note that the directional arrows repainted last February and the new symbols identifying the so-called contra-flow cycleway are now pointing in the opposite direction to that intended.
