A shared pedestrian and cyclist pathway through the Howard Smith Wharves that cyclists say is a dangerous hazard will see “action” taken in coming weeks, Brisbane lord mayor Graham Quirk says.

Since the major entertainment precinct opened late last year, cyclists and pedestrians have raised concerns about the safety of the pebble path running behind the Wharves to connect the city with New Farm riverwalk.

Space for Cycling Brisbane spokesman Andrew O’Brien said last week the path could be “chaotic” particularly in afternoons with pedestrians and cyclists travelling through blind spots and “criss-crossing” the path.

Mr O’Brien said the pathway’s loose surface had already been repaired once but continued to be a safety hazard for users.
