As we all know, Perry Vale has been closed to traffic in connection with the building of the new homes.
Or has it?
Perry Vale has not in fact been closed to all traffic, as cyclists regularly travel along Perry Vale, turn themselves into two-wheeled pedestrians, and continue along a stretch of pavement which, thanks to somebody's wisdom in siting a CCTV unit there, is no more than 5 feet wide just south of the subway entrance.
I'm big and ugly enough to brush off close encounters with inconsiderate cyclists, but the many young children who use this stretch of pavement walking to their primary schools in the area may not be so lucky.
