Marrickville Council engineering section has asked Bike Marrickville where council can best invest a small budget on maintenance or upgrading cycle paths or roads often used by people on bikes.
Nominate away and I will pass on to them - think high priority but small scope issues.
cycle path or road upgrade in Marrickville LGA
The bike routes thru DH come to mind.
Windsor, Davis and Denison Rds are a regular cycle route.

Resurface Bedford street. It's appalling. It runs from Liberty st up alongside the train line to Newtown station. It's full of bumps, ridges, potholes, manhole covers and is already a narrow road to navigate.
But in my opinion it's still safer than using Enmore road for commuting.
My 2 cents.

Put a short contraflow lane or SUP on the northbound side of Edgware Road between Lord and Darley Streets.
When we return from CP on Saturday Slowies we go over King St and down Lord Street but it's one-way so we can't return that way.
My suggestion would create a parallel much safer route the other way - from Marrickville Metro to King St other than up Alice Street. That way is much higher traffic volume. It would also link with other cycling infrastructure on the other side of King St.

Maintenance suggestions have been sent to council.
Meanwhile, if you can afford the time to stop, use the Snap Send Solve phone app to send a photo of any dangerous pothole etc to council. The app will set up an email to council with the photo abd GPS coordinates if that's enabled, making it very easy for the maintenance crew. I've found this results in the hole being patched within a few days.
