Our shared path maintenance team have already spotted the latest vandelism with the paint on the path and will be on to it as soon as they can. Please remember we are a 24/7 operation and it is always worth reporting the incident - particularly when it interferes with safe use of the path - straight away to 9834 9200.
We have some CCTV coverage from the motorway to the shared path around the Lamb st and Simms Road areas and have asked our Control Room operators to scan these areas of an evening when the activity seems to occur.
We will continue to report to the Police.
Thanks
Daniel@M7

When I rode past last Friday and even up to last night, it was pitch black.
I have asked our Maintenance Team about this, and it seems that the feed cable was damaged by rodents or birds (unknown but it looks like one of the two) and the circuit breaker was tripping out. The lights have had to be isolated (switched off) for the meantime. We are getting quotes to repair this at the moment, and will keep you updated as to when it will be fixed!
As always, if you have any concerns about the shared path/motorway and need something to be looked at, you can call us 24/7 on (02) 9834 9200 or email info@westlinkm7.com.au (goes to myself and reception who can follow up when I'm not here).
Thanks for the comment

The last couple of afternoons I've noticed a stray shopping trolley near the bend at the Power St exit. This afternoon as I was heading north, it was precariously placed as you come around the bend - noting that someone had shifted it closer to the bend between the time I returned from the bubbler.
Might be worthwhile taking it easy through there. Also of note, that whole area is littered with empty cases of beer/spirits - looks like the locals must be gathering during the cold of night!
Cheers
Dave

Just a quick thanks to the M7 crew for the nice work on the bridge joint near the Serbian club (Cowpasture Rd overbridge). Cheers.

Just a caution, while riding past an area tonight, there was something burning in the bushes.
Lots of smoke although I didn't see anyone.
This area is on a small incline between the peak of bridge on the Hoxton Park Rd to the bottom of the bridge towards Bernera Rd/ Jedda Rd underpass.
If I'm riding toward the Serb Club, it'll be on my left.
