COUNCIL CLOSES 5O YEAR OLD BEACH TRACK WITH NO CONSULTATION STOP THE CLOSE – SUPPORT LOCAL
- Target:
- City of Stirling
- Region:
- Australia
To cease closure works and re-open the neighbourhood’s access track to the main beach path located opposite the rear boundary of 301 West Coast Highway, Scarborough (referred to as ‘Kay St Access Track’). This track flows directly from the pedestrian walk-cycle path and is in line with the Kay Street beach funnel. Closing this access track adversely affects the local residents and the public, including cyclists. Redirecting pedestrians to the next northern path creates unnecessary collision risks between beach-going pedestrians and cyclist/scooter riders. The location of the Kay St Access Track is safer and preferable over the alternative north location because cyclist speed at the Kay St Track is greatly reduced due to the traffic calming bollards to the south and the footpath grades upwards from the north heading south, naturally slowing down cyclists from both directions. This entry track has been in place pre-1985 and is part of the neighbourhood and Scarborough’s local history.
We, the undersigned do respectfully request that the council:-
