Update on the old VideoEzy site
News from Nicholas Elliot at council regarding the Capital City Trail path realignment at the old VideoEzy site on Nicholson St (near the corner of Park St):
Path alignment proposed (in PDF format) – note galvanised fence on west approach to Nicholson so cyclists can use as a handrail while they wait for lights and to promote separation of path and other uses.
Also note that the existing concrete pad will have to be excavated where the bike path crosses it to account for level differences.
Cyclists exiting road crossing on west side can cycle off the path, using triangular shaped corner of existing pad, which will be re-constructed in concrete and not landscaped as symbol indicates. This and the extended handrail/fence should help with crowding in peak hours.
This alignment will be on the agenda for next BUG meeting (21 May 08). Council has decided to move ahead with construction rather than wait for the new leasee to move in and do it.
Any comments back to me via email or at Thursday’s meeting.
