Path closed behind Perth Arena

[Thoglette]

All of which is crazy given that all the bodies involved are government owned.

And the Crown retains the power to do what ever it bloody well likes (see Servetus St for an example)

The path is closed again until the 28th of October as mini-golf is more important than safe cycling:

Is it closed to pedestrians and cyclists or just cyclists?

[hiflange]

That's weird it was open today (Sep 27). The mini golf was in full swing on the eastern plaza.

[Thoglette]

And it’s on again. The paths been closed for more than a week (since Blink 182).
Anyone know what the current excuse is?

Noticed City of Perth had a tender out relating to this path late last year. No idea what its about.

No idea what its about.

Indeed - it's all in pretty good shape.

Tonka toy on-site Friday. Looks like it might be an issue with those windows again

[dmwill]

Noticed a section around the outdoor tennis court on Wellington St is fenced off. Canvas signage on the fence referring to "bike path connection".

[Thoglette]

Definitely looks like a better connection.

Which will presumably allow Arena management to never have to share their precious path with those nasty cyclists ever again.

“The way is closed”. New bit being joined to the old bit.

[Thoglette]

New bit is open. A vast improvement on the old arrangement but the still-better path remains closed.
