Minor problems found on the Gardiners Creek Trail in Stonnington
The council border between Boroondara and Stonnington is determined solely by the creek line except between a point just north of Peace St and Dunlop St in the south, which encloses Dorothy Laver Reserve West but not the East Malvern Tennis courts.
As the Gardiner Creek trail crosses back and forth between Boroondara and Stonnington, we would like to see co-operation between the two councils on Gardiner Creek trail issues.
 Pram ramp alignment fails to match path. All traffic now uses only one side of the bollard inviting collisions. Ramp was rebuilt in late 2007 without consideration for its function. |
 Signs are meant to be seen. This one is hidden. Has BV's letter of 2003 been noted? Or SCC's Bicycle Strategy? |
 Signs waiting to be installed, 14 Jan 2008 - Stonnington CC. Has BV's letter of 2003 been noted? Or SCC's Bicycle Strategy? And Waverley is spelt with two "E"s. |
 No - this is actually the Scotchmans Creek Trail at this point |
Yarra Trail
 Obstacle under bridge Fixed in 2009. |
 Tree roots lifting path. Gravel on path. |
 Bank encroaching on to path |

 Council's library in Toorak Rd. Old style bike rack. Slot is too narrow to take bicycle wheel. |
 Obstacle in Como Park - it serves no useful function and should be removed. |
 No cyclist would use this parking "facility". It represents the lowest common denominator between being required to provide bicycle parking and then implementing said parking. |
Gardiners Creek Trail at the Malvern Valley Public Golf Course
 Improve path alignment at bridge. |
 New alignment at bridge. About 800 cyclists use this bridge and path each day. |
 Pooling and ponding near Solway Bridge. Bad for golfers - bad for cyclists. |
 Rebuilt path. |
 Pooling and ponding near Solway Bridge. Bad for golfers - bad for cyclists. |
