Another face lift for the Northern side of the Lake.

Bummer – I think they should build a little bridge for the walkers/joggers over that bit of road, and forget all their other improvements. It is quite nerve-wracking trying to push a big stroller across there in a gap between speeding cars.

I guess it would be actual structural stuff though, rather than concreting and beautifying.

I thought they were tarting up the ‘bridge to bridge’ walk?

Do they only mean walking from one bridge to the other and then back again?

Yes, you still have to dodge the cars…that’s south of the lake though, this project only covers the north.

Yeah – I’m thinking this is going to encourage packs of slow wanderers taking up the whole path, and ruin things for the fitness walkers.

Have they fixed up the access to Kings Ave bridge yet, or do you still have to nip across 3 lanes of fast traffic speeding round a bend at you?

That’s a lovely old building…let it be!

I know, rabbits are very bad but they give the area a bucolic English charm.

From what I can tell, the whole area between Mt Pleasant and the John Gorton Building in Parkes is infested with rabbits so the entire area would need to be targetted for extermination.

just knock down the john gorton building and turn it into a carpark.

Don’t pave it! Its the one place those two bloody roller bladers with their stupid wrist bells don’t annoy everyone else who uses the central basin each lunch break!

Roller bladers and recumbant cyclists should all be shot

As long as they don’t put cafes or some sort of wack enterntainment/cosmopolitan/”Canberra has an insecurity complex because we aren’t enough of a city” precinct in then I’m happy.

There’s two on the other side of the lake that aren’t being used, send them over there 😉

Rabbits? What for….target practice? They’d be the first thing I’d spend money on getting rid of.

From the CT:
“Suggestions were made that an asphalt walkway would be better for cyclists and runners, while others believed a gravel path was more cost-effective. “

The stretch of path that runs past Blundell’s cottage to King’s Avenue has both and it seems to work well. However the bike path is starting to rise in a number of places from tree roots. It would be good for us regular commuters if the NCA smoothed it out.

As long as they don’t put cafes or some sort of wack enterntainment/cosmopolitan/”Canberra has an insecurity complex because we aren’t enough of a city” precinct in then I’m happy. All I need is the path, the lake, some trees, ducks in the morning and rabbits at dusk.
