Please sign the parliamentary petition to stop keep cyclists, e-bike riders, scooter riders off our pedestrian walkways! https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/parliamentary-business/petitions/sign-epetition?epetitionId=888&ref=10902
The new bike lane plane will combine cyclists, e-bike riders and scooter rider with pedestrians at the Wycombe Rd crossing to continue along the bike lanes. I like to call this area the “Danger Zone!”. 
“Lime E bikes” we have scattered everywhere weigh 43kg other brands can weigh from 18kg to 80kg. Scooters up to 40kg. With traditional bicycles weighing 7-10kg. 
Now consider this common situation whether someone is in a motor vehicle or on a bike etc and from a distance they see the traffic light turn green or in this case the crossing sign turn green. What does human nature suggest will happen next? The motor vehicle operator and cyclist  accelerate but unlike the motor vehicle operator who does not have to reduce speed at the intersection the cyclist, e-bike riders, scooter rider must not exceed 10km/hr.
