So, are you saying it’s taken this long for Byron to consider ‘no train’, considering they are a middle section of a rail trail, seems that was forgone, or did they mean the absurdly heavy ‘solar train’ ?
Anyway 6/2 that’s gone, does that mean they start the design process or is that forgone as well and just lightweight cheap copies of Lismore after anything that can be sold for cash has been ‘recycled’?
100-year-old timber bridges on Casino to Murwillumbah line beyond repair to support the weight of cyclists, I think not. As to washout, reinforcing the suggestion to leave some rail edging and add more good quality railway ballast before top coat surface.
I see under documents a 149-page report on flowers!
Are you all girls over there at Byron Council?
Where’s the engineering brainstorming?*
Where’s the maximum reuse of on-site materials, detach the rails from the sleepers and spread them to the full four metres width, as edging, then backfill, and top off, that metal boundary will demarcate and actually work as a boundary border, helping to preserve the endangered flora, please hope this is considered in the final assessment rather than just recycling recovery and state funding?
