Comments about links were in the majority, with a large number of comments being
noted as negative. Additionally the negative comments about links were about trip
or fall hazards (54%) and the need for indicated pedestrian crossings (20%). The
particular type of link that seemed to cause the most problems was the walkways
in Tweed Heads. Further analysis shows that the trip hazards, which made up 28%
of comments, were attributed to:
Uneven surfaces, some caused by changes in material.
Temporary obstructions, such as fallen palm branches, trolleys and construction
fences.
However it appears that a few of these trip hazards had been noted by the council
at the time and positive comments concerned the wide walkways and colour indication
for slopes.
