  2. Motorised bikes
    First they put e-bikes on the market, then it is a long wait for regulation of illegal high-powered 'motorbikes' on shared pathways and beaches.

    There has been "...alleged antisocial and criminal behaviour involving a group of youths riding e-bikes in the Moonee and North Sapphire Beach areas."

    "The claims echo concerns being raised in communities right across the state. For many locals, the issue isn’t just legality. It’s safety on shared pathways residents once felt confident using every day." >>

  3. Sawtell #beautification

    When the oversized 'Toorak tractors' park on the #Sawtell main drag, they grab all the space on the footpath. No plants or plastic infrastructure is tolerated, separating SUVs and #pedestrians. All is squashed and butchered. Now finally it seems some official agent removed the last remnants of #plants and planter spaces so that the 'all terrain #vehicles can conquer the #footpath entirely where the (polluted) 'al fresco' takes place.

  4. On my list of things to do is to make some laminated "WARNING: POISON IVY" signs to leave on sidewalks around town. Kids are likely brushing up against the leaves while parents are busy on their phones. #PoisonIvy #walking #sidewalks #swarthmore #pedestrians

  5. Loud vehicles cause harm to #children, #pedestrians and #bicyclists on a daily basis, yet #TinaKotek and her administration look the other way out of fear of Harley owners, who can "customize" without regard to those exposed. Nevermind the #tunercars and #4x4s.

    There are vehicles, with no #DEQ inspection, yet they abuse those condemned to use public roads with egregious, otherwise illegal in a *workplace*, noise levels.

    #Noise level laws flaunted via exception:

    It's an 'in-use' vehicle.

  6. "It won’t happen overnight, but #rail is expected to drive away some of what the community-based #Waipahu Town Action Plan describes as an 'auto-oriented environment not conducive to #pedestrians and bicyclists' that exists in the former sugar plantation town.

    “'People got to realize that we’re not building this for us,' [a local business owner] said. 'We’re building it for future generations.'" #hawaii #honolulu #transit #cycling

  7. #SawtellBeach is a very nice beach to swim, surf or watch wildlife. White-bellied sea eagles can be seen patrolling the surf close to shore. Little terns can be viewed south of Sawtell Headland. Wallabies and turkeys patrol the coastal bush and dunes. Local swimmers swim along the horizon like dolphins. Surfers enjoy a good surf.
    Often but especially in the holiday season vehicles feel free to drive on the beach from the southern end at the Bonville Headland. They do a few rapid loops and chase off toddlers and wildlife. Finally a sign has been erected to stop cars from racing along the main beach. Still one is not safe on this part of the beach.
    Today, #ebikes with fat tyres ploughed along the beach. It is turning a unique beach to become another vehicular thoroughfare. Wildlife disappear and #pedestrians have to jump out of the way.
    Let's keep #Sawtell #beach free of #vehicles - #fossilfuel or battery.
