The Blue Mile is great, but we need to divert some of the attention away from it.

For years we have walked the section of coastline Council has called the Blue Mile, well before it was called "The Blue Mile".

Council has done a great job, hat tip to you, but with the increase in use and general interest in healthy activities it no longer copes with the volume of traffic.

We have such an amazing coastal location in Wollongong, but in truth, most of it is inaccessible or not utilised the best it could be.

We're not about over commercialising the location but Council needs to come up with more options for where people want to walk. Another 2, 3 or 4 locations, equivalent in amenity or close to, the Blue Mile would be very well received and used.

The walking track between Woonona Beach and Sandon Point is probably the 2nd most attractive location but there is simply not sufficient space between walkers and cyclists to make it enjoyable for either. Could we look at creating separate cycle tracks in parallel with walking tracks at selected locations and widening it in others? The ROi on this for the community would be amazing.

Other locations:

Windang to Port Kembla

Beach side of Wollongong Golf Course

Beachfront elevated boardwalk - Puckeys Estate

Elevated Boardwalk - Towradgi Beach (Why should the caravan park residents get it all? :) )

Ditto - Corrimal Beach...

Austinmer - there is scope for something better than current.

The message is, we love what you've done, thank you... we need to spread people out now.
