Welcome to our Lane Cove Weekly Review for 24 to 30 April 2017.
ANZAC Day
The annual ANZAC Day service was again conducted by the Lane Cove RSL Sub Branch. Around 1700 people attended the event. That is a great turnout considering it was still school holidays. In 2015 (100th Year anniversary) there was a massive crowd of about 3000 people.
The ceremony included a tribute to Flight Sergent Oakes which you can read in full here.
Cafes after the service were packed. ITC will remember to book a table next year.
Lane Cove Public Transport Forum
A Lane Cove public transport forum was held by the Lane Cove ALP branch at the new Lane Cove community hub. One member of the crowd said he spoke to the NSW Minister for Transport who said the 292 will be going down Mowbray Road from June 4th.
This forum was held in the week when Anthony Roberts announced more buses for Lane Cove. The new timetable for the 294 is here.
Rats
Rat Baits have now been laid all around the Lane Cove Village.
Lane Cove Bus Interchange Pedestrian Bridge Lifts Update
This week ITC received an update from RMS on the pedestrian bridge lift at the Lane Cove Interchange.
They advised:
Roads and Maritime Services is aware the lift at the road bridge on Longueville/Epping Road is out of action. There are signs on both sides of the road on the approach to the bridge to alert pedestrians. Work to scope the extent of the substantial damage to the drive unit, believed to be have been caused by an electrical fault, is expected to be completed in coming days. Once the scope of work is known, repairs can be scheduled and parts ordered. Lane Cove Council is being kept updated.

A new clothing shop called Tattoo opened in the old Romantic Notions shop on Longueville Road. They have an opening special of 20% off all stock.
