Welcome to our week in review.
Mysterious Quad Bikes
The most asked question this week was: What are those quad motorcycles doing in Lane Cove (pictured above)? Thank you to Councillor Daniel Strassberg (an avid reader of ITC) for telling us the Lane Cove Council were conducting the annual street and footpath survey.
Chaos in Woolworths
This week started with absolute chaos at Woolworths on Monday afternoon. Woolworth’s systems were down nationwide and they could not use their cash registers. Apparently, it was very busy at Coles Lane Cove. You can read about this here.
Rosenthal Avenue Carpark
An ITC follower asked why is the viewing panel on the Rosenthal Car Park Development now obscured by a sign.
ADCO advised:
ADCO intend reinstating a viewing panel a bit further down, most likely in front of the Birdwood café, in the coming week. Along with this viewing panel will be a set of 4 speed humps in the lane way.
For you reference and context, the current perspex panel was installed at the request of RMS so drivers could see behind that corner of the laneway and see if there were any pedestrians behind the hoarding of that corner. It soon became a valuable viewing panel for the community which ADCO support and would engage with the community on daily basis. However after noting the speed and frequency cars were driving down the Lane way, we thought it would be safer to create a viewing panel away from the laneway corner and install some speed humps to encourage the 10km shared zone that the laneway now is.
Snakes Still About
This week an In the Cove roving reporter spotted a red belly snake at Blackman Park. This warmer weather means snakes are still about – be careful during school holidays. You can read more about snakes in lane cove here.
Business Changes
The Cake Man – Lane Cove is under new management. They also have one of the best Baristas in Lane Cove working for them – Sean. So pop in and say hi to Michelle and the gang. Please support our local businesses.
This is a bit exciting. 9 degrees Alexandria climbing centre has applied for a DA in Lane Cove West.
So many great activities are now in Lane Cove West including Carlile Swimming.
Car Break-Ins
Cars were broken into in First Ave during the week. The only thing that was stolen was a pair of running shoes. The shoes were left a pottery green and a roving reporter advised ITC – the owners were reunited with the shoes.
Accident at the Diddy Corner
On Sunday afternoon there was another accident at the Longueville/Kenneth/River Road West corner. There were only minor injuries.
