Amusing tradie interaction on #DjerringTrail. Electrician cable-ties "notice of works" to the fence as I was passing. "All the street lights along the trail through hughesdale to be replaced, all faulty" (<6yrs old, installed by level crossing removal project)

I asked "Will you be installing lights in the missing black section?" He then confidently told me that no, could not be done because the part of the council's park that has been here for decades that I was referring to, "that section of is railway land" then turning around to point down the railway bit, newly created in 2018 by LXRA, "and that section is council land"

Amused. Walking in local park and as a cyclist rode past a Jack Russell bolted out of the bushes and is missed by about 20cm. Cyclist yells at me "control your dog". Pointed out dog belongs to shouty man 20m away who refuses to leash his dog. Cyclist rides up to shouty man ... who immediately starts shouting to F"ing watch where he's F'ing riding and watch out for his (illegally off leash)F'ing dog.

Psa. Avoid shouty man on #djerringtrail

Oh look, the Herald Sun has discovered that the railway project giveth, and the railway project taketh away

Level Crossing Removal built a park on the #DjerringTrail as a minor ad-on to their infrastructure

Suburban Rail Loop are removing it and building a new one on the other side of Clayton road

They've really got the hate on for the #SRL haven't they. Can't spend money on #railways, we need MOAR ROADZ!

Wait until the HS see the multi-million dollar childcare centre built in 2010 that SRL bulldozed at Monash Uni!

And lo, the Murrumbeena Rd #djerringtrail crossing has been painted yella, just like wot spouse told me. Yes, I had not noticed when I rode across yesterday, too busy watching the drivers for any ignoring the traffic lights
