There is a final option: A writ of "mandamus" (excuse my Latin).
Basically it's a writ that forces the appropriate authority to "do it's
duty". From what I've heard just starting the process is enough to get
most councils moving.
It may not be appropriate in this case but if for instance the signage
does not follow the required standards or the council is failing to
comply with documented policies or fail to discharge their duty ( duty
of care etc ) in some other way then it may be just the thing you need.
:-)
Any lawyers on the list willing to do one of these at no charge?

I ventured down the new Leach Hwy path tonight as i saw a cyclist emerge
in the other direction. The path is not officially open and has
barriers to prevent it's use. I continued around the barriers to see
how it all looks.
I was disappointed to see that along the path an "end path" sign is
erected just before a pedestrian ramp and re-starts about twenty or so
metres later. It appears the intention is that cyclists have to
dismount at this point and walk until the shared path re-commences.
Picture here:

I don't think this is a good solution, I am quite prepared to take it up
with someone before the path opens, but don't know where to start.
Anyone point me in the right direction? and anyone have suggestions for
alternatives?
cheers
