It would be great for people who dont finish work until it's almost dark.

Provide Exterior flood lighting to increase the usable hours of the velodrome, giving options for early morning and evening training throughout the year.
We aim to provide a safe environment for all the community to use. As this area is dark and not in a high traffic area it can discourage members of the community to use the facility, particularly women.
We wish to provide an alternative to driving across town to Thornbury to use the indoor velodrome.
Exterior lighting will increase participation and patronage of the facility and provide for year round use.

Please please please. My kids want to ride their track bikes at their local track, travel time to Northcote and Brunswick is prohibitive mid week. I want to keep them off the roads.

I use this track regularly throughout the year and since the resurfacing I have seen the numbers of riders jump. There are no other velodromes nearby and this is a great resource for cyclists of all ages and levels. Adding lights would allow for more evening usage and organised events, especially for juniors.
