style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New

you know the Yarra Trail has been closed for some time
between Barkly Avenue and Punt Road, since a very cold
morning left ice on one of the pontoon sections
leading to a large number of accidents. The problem of
the icy surface was compounded by the fact that silt
had built up under the pontoon causing it to tilt.<o></o></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New

a phone conversation with Louise Daniel from Ted
Baillieu’s office who provided the following
information which she asked me to pass on to
interested parties. <o></o></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman","serif";"><o> </o>Minister Ryan
Smith will be making a press release sometime next
week to announce emergency funding to fix the problem.
Works have already started to deal with the ice issue.
Dredging to remove the silt will take 4-6 weeks. The
trail will be reopened about 8<sup>th</sup> August
depending on tides, but may need to be closed again at
times of low tide until the dredging is complete.
Signs will be in place at these times.<o></o></span></p>

good news.<o></o></span></p>
