The extension of the concrete path to the lookout area is now open :)️ This is part of the Stage 1 of track improvements to Shepherds Park and will make it a lot easier for prams, bikes and wheelchairs to reach the new lookout platform that will be constructed in Stage 2.

The rest of the Stage 1 tracks are still being worked on, but due to COVID-related delays, are now expected to be completed by the end of June.
Meanwhile there has also been a delay to the start of Stage 2 which was due to begin in June, but is now likley to be starting in September. Stage 2 consists of a step-free route around Hellyers Creek Reserve, including three new bridges and the lookout platform.

They are operating during the T3 periods:
* from 6:30am to 10am heading down the hill towards the city, and
* 4pm to 7pm heading up the hill towards Birkenhead.
During these hours, you could receive a $150 fine if you travel for more than 50 metres in the T3 lane when you have less than 3 people in the vehicle.
Some people have reported receiving warning letters when they did have 3 people in the car. Hopefully any issues were ironed out before fines started being issued...
Please let me know your thoughts on the cameras, and if you notice any change to general traffic, buses or driver behaviour.
