Metro or Ferret, you guys seem to have your finger on the pulse of most things within cycling in this region. Can you tell me if either KOCC or HVVCC have made efforts to look at rectifying the issue of the run up to the bridge. From what I understand it is a complex issue.
It is complex. Most of the roads on KI are not Public roads under the Roads Act 1993, but "private" roads on land owned by a Minister of the NSW Government - that is, they are not roads that we as members of the public are entitled to use, and they are not Crown land that members of the public can use. Newcastle Port Corp, which manages the roads on behalf of the relevant Minister, can kick us off at any time.
The NSW government would love to give the "roads" to Newcastle City Council but that will not happen until it is resealed.
If we complain the "roads" are dangerous the easy thing for the Port Corp to do is kick us off - a lot less expensive than resealing.
