Signs installation breakdown on new and existing cyclepaths:
a) 2008 – Nil
b) 2009 – 417
c) 2010 – 79
In addition to these signs, it is also proposed to install sign posting around the four lakes, Lake Burley Griffin, Ginninderra, Tuggeranong and Yerrabi Pond. These signs and associated infrastructure such as seats and path modifications will generally be more substantial and the design of these are currently under development.
