A Small Win For Rooty Hill Cyclists - Blacktown City Council Response And Provides Improvements - Thanks to 'whyilovemountdruitt'!

 Although I was waiting for Blacktown City Council to get back to myself as to how they actually solved the problems of cyclists at Rooty Hill, tying their bicycles on the railing on the up and down ramp to Rooty Hill train station. 

I hadn't been back into that area until this week since then and I noticed a great improvement that Blacktown City Council had provided. They are to be congratulated for listening to the community and responding to 'whyilovemountdruitt's' request. A metal latch has been placed with a chain, on the side of the ramp, connecting to poles holding up the awnings. This is so that bicycles are properly locked on the side, placed away from the public, not only that it looks improved and better. Have a look for yourself

This is only a sample of suggestions for improvements, we are asking relevant authorities and stake holders to attend to. See this bicycle tied to pole correctly and refer to previous  blogs, showing you what was happening and looked before. Although cyclist around the area may not have realised of this small change, they will know a small positive change in the right direction.
