The lower section of Whitlam Stage 2 has opened so that we now have access to the ridge bike path that as been the topic of discussion for over two years now. In Whitlam, the bike paths have not been built along alignments that provide low gradient that bicycle need. The result is some of the steepest paths in Canberra.
This is the 4th post on the topic. The video profiles the steep section of path. It is hard to believe, but Whitlam Stage 2 was opened over two years since the development application was released.
