reserve, which is part of the Beaumaris Bay Fossil Site
on the Register of the National Estate, is of national and international importance,
but it is threatened with losing 100 trees or more if VicRoads
will not meet Bayside City Council's request for
a 350-metre extension of the nearby
“Safety Section”, which has been reduced from the 4 motor lanes elsewhere to
a single motor lane each way, to give room on the Beach Road bitumen for the
bicycle road extension. To provide
the full width for the bicycle road, that alteration in lane format should
also involve removing the little-used central turning lane, as has been
requested by a 2011 resolution
of Bayside City Council. |
