Greg Lee organised a great meeting for this week via Zoom. Greg is our club's representative on the Strategic Liaison Group (SLG) for the Clyde Road Level Crossing Removal project. The SLG was established as a key information sharing avenue between the project and the local community during major construction.
With some help from Jane Moore, who promoted it widely, we peaked at 46 attendees, which was pretty good for a cold bleak Wednesday night out.
The feature of this talk was to get up to date with the status of the project, which is a major headache to all locals at the moment. Once completed, the project will be fantastic.
It was very interesting to learn about the level of thought that goes into each rail crossing removal in order to bring individual meaning to each one.
In the Clyde Road case, the crossing is on the boundary of the basalt hills and low lying grasslands. The colours and textures in the final product will reflect the natural colours found in the surrounding areas.
