Not sure how many of you are aware, but Brisbane pathways suck. Old, lifted and broken sections are everywhere making mobility difficult for all kinds of residents.

I became more aware of how bad the infrastructure is after buying an electric scooter.

To have your say, RACQ have a Safer pathways survey to help them understand the problem better. I encourage everyone to fill it out.

If you find something particularly bad, use the Snap-Send-Solve app to take a photo and push it off to council.

They have a regular program where they go around and grind down lifted edges due to tree roots, etc, but they don't have eyes everywhere. If you point it out they'll put it on the list and it usually gets resolved in a few weeks.

The app works for nearly all public facilities, eg I use a park where an entire string of pathway lights were out for ages. I took a photo with the app and sent it to off to Energex with a pole number and four or five days later it was sorted. Don't know if it was actually because of my action but I'll believe it haha.
