Should we report them to Department of Transport as these bays will then generate funds for the Perth Parking Levy.mount_street wrote:Looks like the northern side of the bridge is now being used as a carpark. Meanwhile in Auckland an old ramp has been repurposed for cyclists...

Signs indicate construction starting in May. Saw some guys on Segways last week working around Bunning Lake/swamp and then some new spraypaint on the PSP this week. I wonder what disruptions are planned for the PSP in this section when they build the bridge over the top of it ?

Nothing would surprise me with Main Roads but it really does need a proper and permanent diversion if the path is impacted.

Roe St should also get bus less, as the temporary bus station is no longer used. Which may mean they finally give us the long awaited cycle lanes (or shared lanes) at the west end.
PTA New Bus Station
Unclear if the bus bridge will again be used, or this will wait until that bus route extension finishes over the freeway.

Bridge completed May 2009
Not used until used Dec 2010
Closed Mar 2014
Announcement indicating open again Jun 2017
So the bridge is now over 8 years old and only used for just over 3 years.
Sad how we get this project delivered (and then not used) and yet the WA Bicycle Network Plan is still waiting for the schedule of its projects to be released, as per the recommendations of Auditor General's Report into Safe Cycling (Oct 2015).

The MRWA Project Page doesn't mention any on-going PSP closures but the path from Newcastle St under the bus bridge wasn't serviceable in the latest aerial photography I have (4 weeks old).wicksey wrote:Anyone know if it's possible to enter the PSP at Newcastle St (which then heads west along the fwy) or did they close that?
I would assume that it has been re-opened since the photos were taken but if it hasn't you can definitely access the PSP from behind the car yard west of the overpass by taking Golding Rd and Old Aberdeen Place eastbound (back towards the overpass).
