The shared pathway is used by both cyclists and pedestrians. Many school children use the pathway to get to Orleans Park School and St Stephens School, as well as other schools in the area. The bikes come at tremendous speed and come very close to the children, in my families case, my daughter has actually been knocked over by a bike. There is a wide grass verge which could easily accommodate a new separate cycle path which would make for a far safer option for both pedestrians and cyclists. Since Covid there are even more bikes using the pathway and hence it is even more dangerous than ever before.
