(3) Has the situation that the southern shared path repeatedly narrows to one lane because of the intrusion of streetlights influenced the decision to not provide this path with a safety railing; if so, how.
(4) Does the Government have any future plans to install safety railing to separate this shared path from vehicular traffic; if so, when will this happen.
(5) Does the Government have any data regarding the usage of this shared path; if so, what is this data.
(6) How many accidents have involved users of this shared path (cyclists or pedestrians) in each of the past five years.
(7) How many traffic accidents have occurred on the bridge over Lake Ginninderra in each of the past five years.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Two bridges span the Ginninderra Creek at the dam wall that impounds Lake Ginninderra. These bridges were constructed several years apart in 1976 and 1981. The older of the bridges is on the southern side (nearest the lake) and does not have a safety fence between the carriageway and the footpath. It is assumed that the reasons for this bridge not having a safety fence likely relate to design standards / design guidance at the time.
(2) Please see answer (1).
(3) No.
(4) Not at this time.
(5) No.
(6) Based on the last 5 years (2015 – 2019), there was no reported crashes involving cyclists/pedestrians on this shared path.
(7) Based on the last 5 years (2015 – 2019), there was one reported crash on the bridge.
