Pathway along the Parramatta River

Today I received the following request regarding the shared use path along the Parramatta River frontage:

"I use the Parramatta River Valley Cycleway daily, to cycle to work . Its starting to become busy on the section behind Meadowbank Park and the incidence of loose dogs is increasing. I request improved signage clearly instructing people as to their obligations when using multi-use pathways, before I get bowled over."

I agree there is a need for user education wherever we have a shared pathway. I have arranged for this matter to be referred to the Bicycle Advisory Committee for consideration and to be taken into account when designing signage for the "Ryde River Walk". The path mentioned in the request (PVC) is part of the RRW that is to be signposted and officially opened within 12 months, so the request is timely.
