This is actually of some relevance for those of us who commute by bike on the shared paths. Because TAMS scatter the grass cuttings over the paths and don’t clean them up, it means that the paths can become more dangerous, especially after rain. It’s easy not to see a patch of wet grass clippings until you’re on top of them, particularly at night. I know of somebody who broke her collar bone when she hit such a patch on a corner a few years back. It also means that those nasty little seeds which are shaped like caltrops get thrown out onto the paths and cause many more punctures. More encouragement to ride on the road, unfortunately.

“Work crews will commence the program with the first major cut of suburbs and arterial roads across the ACT”, Fleur Flanery, Director, City Services said today.”
Must have been some good rains over winter for the roads needing to be mowed. Perhaps they should have many “road plant ahead” signs whilst conducting the bitumen trimming.

We needed this media release about as much as we needed your reply stating you dont think we need one.

Both as useless as one another.. Yours moreso.

Maybe, but a public servant isn’t being paid to write and release my comment. I hope whoever’s job that is gets slashed should Abbott win tomorrow. There’s an easy $50K into the kitty.

You do know that Tony Abbott is not in charge of TAMS, right?

Mowing Season – oh crap does that mean that since I did mine last weekend, I did it out of season??? Is there some penalty for such a crime?
