Hi all,<br>
<br>
Let’s get this missing path link in North Fitzroy finally completed
so everyone can enjoy easier access to Rushall station, not getting
stuck on a dead end path and less confusion when using the Merri
Creek trail. <br>
<br>
Bear in mind, it's only one month short of ten years since we made
this Merri Creek Trail Review joint submission with Brunswick (now
Moreland) and Darebin Bicycle User Groups!<br>

Come along to our community information session to find out more and
discuss the draft design with Council Officers.<br>
Where: Rushall Reserve, North Fitzroy, When: Saturday 7 May from
10am-12pm.<br>
<b><br>
<br>
</b><b>5. An example of what you can send to City of Yarra</b><br>
<br>
You might support the proposed path as it will:<br>
<ul>
<li>open the park for use and enjoyment for more people in the
community</li>
<li>connect the Merri Trail</li>
<li>provide easy access to the park for residents living near
Rushall station</li>
<li>provide a time-saving route for people walking to Rushall
station from far-North Fitzroy</li>
<li>increase accessibility for elderly people, bicycle, pram and
wheelchair users</li>
<li>provide more passive surveilance and an alternative
exit-point, increasing safety</li>
<li>reduce traffic and conflict at Rushall Station underpass</li>
</ul>
"<i>I support The City of Yarra’s proposed design including the path
alignment and fence, which allows existing uses, including dog
play, to continue. Combined with the new ramp already being built
at Coulson Reserve, the proposed path will effectively link
Clifton Hill with far-North Fitzroy.</i><i> </i><i>Please build
the path to share the park."<br>
