I ride down the street parallel to the PSP now, then jump onto the PSP just before the train crossing (Where I have also been having problems with trucks in the keep clear sections)

I would hate to live around that area. Cars nose to tail parked up in front of peoples houses etc.
Thanks for the heads up though. This section will be on my commute from Tuesday morning!

Don't get me started on the Keep Clears - both Collier and the one near Tonkin. I rarely have issues with the Maylands one - is that because of better traffic light set-up or because the drivers are used to the Maylands one? I would have thought by now the regular commuters would have got the hang of the new Keep Clears. So must be design. I would have liked to have seen the Keep Clear on the northern side of track at Collier and the bike/ped track crossing on the other side. I think this would have worked a lot better.

.....Still wish they'd taken the PSP north of the railway at Collier - then the keep clear would be on flat and before the boom gate.

I never have problems at Maylands. I used to commute from north of there and found drivers round the Inglewood/Bedford area always friendly. Lockridge to Bassendean, not so much. Might migrate down to the Collier crossing come peak hour.Sprocket wrote:Now I know it's not just me - I've contacted both the Bassedean Town Council and Transperth. I'll let you know what feedback I get.

Zero response from Bassendean council and Transperth apart from a generic "we have received your feedback" email from Transperth.
Have just lodged a form with Main Roads - recommended to me by the nice lady at the Department of Transport's cycling division. I'll let you know what happens with this one.

Try Dave Kelly, because the current local member will not be standing. Bassendean has a 10% advantage for Labor (Dave Kelly)bomberdon wrote:Same here....zilch from ToBSprocket wrote:Zero response from Bassendean council and Transperth apart from a generic "we have received your feedback" email from Transperth.

Bassendean council is pretty moribund.....Sprocket wrote:Overnight email from Main Roads to say matter has been referred to their Pedestrian & Cycling Division for investigation. That's certainly an improvement on Bassendean Council!

Thanks to Heinrich & Jim it looks like there will be some action on this. Short term fix will be to put some bollards on the side access path to prevent cars coming down it. Longer term plan is to extend the car park to the hut.CycleSnail wrote:We have contacted Jim Krynen at the PTA

Scrap that, they have extended and made it a lot better.Killswitch wrote:They have out up temp fencing all the way along the PSP to stop cars driving on it, and as you said a gravel carpark. Though it looks half finished. It's very small.
