26 | medium | Elderfield / Griffin path extension (map) | 2007 | |
Description: There is a wide path running along Elderfield south of the Griffin Crescent round-about. This is an excellent path for pedestrians and (young/inexperienced) cyclists. However, it ends a few metres south of roundabout forcing pedestrians/cyclists wanting to continue west along Griffin to either walk/cycle on the grass verge or road, or use the paths that go the long way anticlockwise around the round-about, which includes two road crossings. | Proposal: Continue the Elderfield path around the corner into Griffin for approximately 25m and add a pram-ramp to permit crossing Griffin to the footpath on its northern side. | |||

23 | medium | SE27 | South Terrace / Hayman Road intersection | |
Description: The entry to the Herbarium is off George Street immediately after the intersection of South Terrace and Hayman Road. Cyclists heading east along South Terrace, using the new cycling, lane must make a quick lane change from left to right in order to enter the Herbarium.

However, during this phase, cars may turn right from Hayman Road into George Street. | Proposal: Approach Main Roads and have the pedestrian crossing phase be given a head-start over the right-hand filter. | |||

Description: There is an old slab path leading from the main path outside Manning Library to the kerb of Manning Road.
