Great stuff! It would be amazing if eveyone who rides the spruit gets behind making it safer, cleaner and a place for the whole family , commuters, races even...The spruit is a jewel in the middle of Joburg and could be enjoyed by a lot more folks if they knew what the area had to offer, and it is percieved to be a safe place to ride. If you ride from Alberts farm to the N1 and back, you can do a good 50km ride! A few possibilities (some requiring money and manpower); *signs marking the paths, including info for cyclists and pedestrians, suggestions such as bell so as not to 'surprise' dog walkers and other users.* An interested club or two willing to take on the responsibility of building basic bridges, etc...possibly using donations from hopefully the majority of users (pie in the sky?). *what about the guys who organise the night racing at Delta Park, they're obviously able to organise themselves? *dustbins *two paths*a number to call if you notice an overflowing sewer, dumping etc. *riders using the spruit often who are prepared to act as reservists on the spruit even if its just by wearing a shirt sponsored by some of our local armed reaction guys...to create a presence of some sort of security. *Spruit users kit (shirt) with proceeds going towards upgrade. *some sort of anti -erosion measure e.g. reroute path from time to time where possible. all out of ideas will try again later
