For the last four years Iโve been asking for a footpath on Babbage Road from Malga Avenue down to Echo Point Park. This is a frequently used route by residents and visitors and itโs located on a narrow winding road. The situation is so bad that in many parts, residents have no choice but to risk walking on the road. And while we were previously able to introduce other safety measures such as traffic calming devices, it is the footpath that makes the biggest difference to pedestrian safety.
We have now implemented the first (easiest) section, which is a footpath along the 290m stretch from Malga Avenue to the Roseville Bridge Walkway, and it was encouraging to see residents using the footpath today. The next section through to Echo Point Park is technically much more difficult (and expensive) so Iโm not sure when it can/will be delivered.
