I feel like I’ve just seen a ghost

Little hard to see, but this is the intersection at Neerim Road at the south end.

Perfectly safe, but kind of inconvenient because you have to cross two legs of the intersection.

Overall, I’m glad this got built. There was a very real chance the entire thing would have been canned after the earlier controversy. This was the only major piece of bike infrastructure built in Glen Eira by the last council – hoping for more in the next few years. /end

Bad stuff – the path abruptly ends just short of Caulfield Station, the Monash Uni campus and the beginning of to the Djerring Trail. We’re told another project is in the works to fix this, but who knows when that will happen. 6/

Good stuff –The wide bi-directional path is quite comfortable. Crossovers at every side street means people can easily access the path (something that tends to get forgotten on similar paths elsewhere). 5 /

Queens Avenue is an important link between Glen Huntly and Caulfield – the new path almost (foreshadowing) connects existing paths along the Dandenong and Frankston rail lines 4/

But after much delay and consultation, the whole 800m path was constructed in about a month! Really shows you how quickly things can move once a decision is made. Speed limit has also dropped from 60 to 50 to accommodate narrower traffic lanes 3/

Went to visit the newly opened Queens Avenue bike path in Caulfield today, just under a year since @highcapacityhayden.bsky.social and I sat down at a community meeting for the first time. 1/

Featuring such absurdity and fear mongering as suggesting that a blanket 20 storey height limit is proposed for every activity centre
