Description

Happy to see that the concrete barriers were moved back into place on the Goodwin Park Road. Reflectors have been placed on the 'outside' of the southernmost concrete blocks so that they could be seen at night when a light is shined on them. These blocks need reflectors on both sides so that cyclists using the park in the twilight and evening hours can see them from both sides.

There have been cases of people on bikes getting severely injured by unmarked (unreflectored) bollards and barriers like this and I'm afraid it leaves the city open the risk of being sued.

Image is of the 'backside' of the southernmost concrete barriers.

Thanks. Justin
