I wrote a blog post discussing how Canada Bay is planning to remove the Heath Street separated cycleway (funded by a $7 million grant from the NSW Government) based on a misleading traffic report.
In this blog post I:
- Show the council is removing the cycleway while claiming to “modify” it.
- Show the council is removing the cycleway due to the third-party report.
- Outline errors and flaws in the engineering report prepared by a third party (which has now been hidden from the Canada Bay Council website).
To support my analysis I conducted a drone aerial imagery survey using a commodity drone (following CASA laws), creating a 3D model and pointcloud to take measurements on, along with capturing #Mapillary imagery and surveying on #openstreetmap

@jakecoppinger Jeez, it just gets worse. Especially the 'removal' -> 'modify' stuff. The way spin has come to permeate so many levels of our government, the lack of trust to speak honestly to their constituents...
I'm going to email you some thoughts on the blog though (too long for here).
