She rang me to discuss after the initial contact I made with Councillors and listened to what I had to say. Tim, can I assume to will be supporting it?"
Peter B replied to Tim Hein's discussion Election: Tim Hein standing for re-election in The Park Ward, Mitcham"Bump. I'd really like to hear a reply to this very modest request of Rob and Ruddager."

The DPTI preferred option was a great big Taj Mahal of an overpass dominating the area and visible for large distances in each direction, but the City of…"
Paul May replied to Tim Hein's discussion Election: Tim Hein standing for re-election in The Park Ward, Mitcham"Sorry, have I understood correctly? Are you saying that the reason that Blackwood roundabout is going to go from 'unpleasant and difficult' for cycling to 'suicidal' is something to do with your advocacy? With…"
Ruddager replied to Tim Hein's discussion Election: Tim Hein standing for re-election in The Park Ward, Mitcham"Tim, we're talking about dirt trails that already exist and are only asking that one section designated "walkers only" be re-designated to allow cyclists, and that the unfriendly gate at the bottom of Burnell Drive be removed."
Rob Wood replied to Tim Hein's discussion Election: Tim Hein standing for re-election in The Park Ward, Mitcham"Tim, I am not asking for a sealed path. I am just asking my local rep how we can get a small section of walking only trail converted to cycling trail? Nothing more, nothing less.
For the record I contacted all Councillors, I have the email support…"
Tim Hein replied to Tim Hein's discussion Election: Tim Hein standing for re-election in The Park Ward, Mitcham"Folks,
"Leading" in council is slow, consultative and technical. Administration, and many Councilors, would love to find a feasible way to connect the hills, through Belair, to the plains with a sealed pathway. However (unlike Unley) we…"
Wayne B replied to Tim Hein's discussion Election: Tim Hein standing for re-election in The Park Ward, Mitcham"Perception! The less people know about something, the least correct their perception usually is. In this case I stand corrected.
What I wrote has been my experience, both in AU & overseas."
Tim Hein replied to Tim Hein's discussion Election: Tim Hein standing for re-election in The Park Ward, Mitcham"Dave,
See my reply to Wayne below.
Tim"
Tim Hein replied to Tim Hein's discussion Election: Tim Hein standing for re-election in The Park Ward, Mitcham"Thanks for your thoughts, Wayne,
Despite our wishes, we can't just build infrastructure on DPTI roads. However the roundabout is actually specifically because of the ongoing advocacy from both Council generally, and me personally.…"
Ruddager replied to Tim Hein's discussion Election: Tim Hein standing for re-election in The Park Ward, Mitcham"Not to mention that the Unley cycling routes now link the city to the Randell Park trails, creating a continuous path from the hills if done well enough."
Wayne B replied to Tim Hein's discussion Election: Tim Hein standing for re-election in The Park Ward, Mitcham"Tim, perception?! You might as well wrote "I don't care". My perception of politicians and bureaucrats who shift blame usually do so for that reason; I don't care (to make an effort). Isn't part of local council's role…"
Dave M replied to Tim Hein's discussion Election: Tim Hein standing for re-election in The Park Ward, Mitcham"How about lead it? Don't just wait for someone else to present a motion that you can vote for.
I don't think the excellent work that the City of Unley is doing on cycling was achieved by people saying "not me.""
Dave M replied to Tim Hein's discussion Election: Tim Hein standing for re-election in The Park Ward, Mitcham"You should invite the Marion mayor Kris Hanna to run some kind of leadership workshop for the Mitcham councillors.
He could tell you all about how the City of Marion stood up for their constituents and managed to get the Oaklands crossing grade…"

- I ride with the THOP guys, and am a big supporter of cycling.
I have been the Elected Councillor for The Park Ward in Mitcham Council for the past 2 years, and am standing again in the current election.
In that time, I've fought for and won a new Blackwood Masterplan. I'll continue to fight to ensure Glenalta, Hawthorndene, Belair and surrounding suburbs are not forgotten by Mitcham Council, and to ensure that the Blackwood and Belair townships receive much-needed improvements to services and infrastructure.
I'll also work to protect the Mitcham Hills from bushfire risk, reduce council rates, revitalise Blackwood, and protect our environment and open spaces.
I'm a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. I have the skills and background to get the best from Council for the Mitcham Hills.

Hi Tim, any chance you could comment on the council's input into the Blackwood roundabout redevelopment and specifically what contributions you (as a big supporter of cycling) have been making on the issue?
I'm sure the rate paying businesses of the area would appreciate a design that won't make it harder for people to get around and spend money there.
