Balbuk Way bike path / graffiti

hey guys,
not sure how many others ride this section, but overnight some clowns decided to deface the bike path with a host of racist / nazi insignias etc.
normally a bit of scrawling on the bike path isn't an issue from my perspective, but when there is a dozen or so swastikas, and some absolutelt vile stuff tagged on the path, its a little much.
any idea who has responsibility for this section? i've contemplated lodging something with the cops in case these people have form in the area. not sure if i need to talk to main roads / town of vic park / city of belmont ?
cheers

If you mean the PSP between the Graham Farmer Freeway and Balbuk Way then it is Main Roads WA.

If you mean the 'riverside' path from the Balbuk Way boat ramp then I believe it is City of Belmont.
I do usually ride the PSP in this section but I have been fighting with a cold the last couple of weeks and haven't been commuting.

reported to the graffiti hotline via the police website. they said they will contact City of Belmont & attempt to have it removed this morning.
good to see there are some classy people out there.
'White is Wright' - well educated as well.

I saw that this morning and found it very upsetting to read. I reported it via the Main Roads web site. Hopefully it can be removed ASAP. I have no tolerance at all for race hate.

Saw that this morning and could only shake my head. Tonight though, I passed at about 5.15 and got wet paint on my tires. The guy looked like he was just finishing up near the toilet block to a gave him a wave and said thanks. He must see some right garbage and is probably immune to it all by now - seeing but not processing.

Agreed. I would send a thank you if I knew which agency responded so fast.
