Speed track is another intrusion

It has been reported to me that the cycleway is to be continued from the Lions Park along the reserve waterfront in the near future.

So again I have to take up the challenge to protest on behalf of another species that use the waterfront.

Two young galahs visit every morning and, at the moment, a blue crane who takes its holidays here every year is perching on the fence fronting the water.

Plovers visit every morning and cormorants position themselves on jetties.

These lovely birds are not going to visit to enchant all if the narrow strip outside has bikes whizzing up and down at speed all day and every day.

This speed track will be just another intrusion to remind us how man is further destroying all the beauties of our planet,

This reserve should not be regarded as a roadway, and I might mention it would be on unstable ground in the wet and on a narrow strip of grass with native trees.

I would also like to make the point that a track of this nature could suggest easy pickings to opportunistic thieves to steal from houses fronting the waterfront.

Councilors please reconsider and re-route.
