Bike track is necessary

If you own property on the waterfront reserve, the reserve is public land, so you have no right to dictate who can use it.

Others live beside the parks and roads without expecting rights about who can use them.

A bike track is a very necessary part of our community.

Have you considered the many others to benefit from the bike track, for example mothers with strollers, walkers, gophers, wheel chairs?

Also, when bike riders enjoy a bike track for exercise and convenience, it reduces traffic on already overloaded roads.

The bike track on Brick Wharf Rd is not dangerous for pedestrians sharing with bike riders, however it is hazardous for those in gophers or wheelchairs on roads and elderly people have been injured and killed because there is nowhere safe to ride.

Wouldn't it be good if others could move easily and safely on the beautiful waterfront between Gosford and Umina when the bike track is finally linked as planned?
