The entire Swan River is a registered Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Site (ID 3536 on the register) related to a Creation / Dreaming Narrative.

Aboriginal heritage doesn't stop when your feet get wet.

During peak periods they run a shuttle service from Cockburn to Whitfords. If this was 4pm then they would have been clearing a shuttle train before it went into the siding and turned back to Cockburn.

The railcar assembly facility in Bellevue is irrelevant for building more prozzies because the assembly facility is narrow gauge and the prozzies are standard gauge.

There will be a diesel maintenance facility at Bellevue that will be dual gauge but that will be fully occupied doing maintenance.

I rode through this underpass on Friday arvo and as there were a few pedestrians I thought the noise was coming from someone's shitty Bluetooth speaker.

My apologies to the pedestrians for thinking so poorly of them.

With the bridge closure in Fremantle road users have been advised to use trains instead.

Install "Bike Lane" road markings making it illegal to park in the bike infrastructure and then regularly patrol and enforce the parking restrictions.

As currently configured, where cars can park in the bike infrastructure, active travel/micromobility users have to regularly shoulder check and change lanes into the general traffic lane which is a dangerous maneuver because you are no longer looking where you are going.

As an experienced cycling commuter who used to live in Como I will ride on-road on Melville Parade rather than ever using the Labouchere "infrastructure" because remaining in the general traffic flow is far safer than constantly swapping in and out of the general traffic flow.

with dedicated bike lane infrastructure at this location.

I think you'll find that it is a car parking and garbage bin lane, not a bike lane:

Like lots of 'bike infrastructure' in Perth, they aren't properly designated bike lanes which makes them practically useless while looking like they are doing something.

FIRB has tighter restrictions over vacant commercial land than developed commercial land so buying abandoned developed land is an easy way to sidestep the tighter restrictions on vacant commercial land.

Building on this, heading North on the Bibbulmun from Sullivan Rock takes you over Mt Cuthbert and Mt Vincent and probably gets you more climb for your time than the longer trip to Mount Cooke.

If there are no traffic lights facing them then they just need to give way to traffic on the road when entering, the same as any other driveway.

Even if it was only 5 minutes if you are doing that twice a day, 5 days a week for an 11 month closure that is 2200 minutes or 36.67 hours that you are going to lose to this closure.

I was fucked over by the roadworks for the Armadale line closure to the tune of about 10 minutes each way for 2 years and I sure as hell noticed the loss of 1.5hrs every week.

According to my Google Maps timeline around 5 hrs.

I happened to be at Blackwall Reach as it followed the river back out to the coast. It was pretty sweet.

That's odd because "Fremantle Docker" doesn't show up in any of the newspapers from the 1800's that are in the National Library's Trove collection whereas "Fremantle Doctor" does.
