Minor tweaks are the connectivity along the way. The ped crossing refuge at the Western end of McCormacks Bay goes nowhere, the footpath ends on a narrowed road with no per or cycle facilities into McCormacks Bay. Beachville road is reasonably quiet anyway and footpath through redcliffs village is reasonable if a bit cluttered (sometimes with parked cars even with full on street parking on both sides). A massive oversight is connectivity to Barnet Park. Great facilities which are inaccessible from the path without crossing two traffic, two parking and two cycle lanes with no refuge. With a large car park within Barnet park, surely removal of a few on road to enable safer crossing between pathway and park is a no brainer?
