Editing Upfield Bike Path (section)

==Solar lighting at Fawkner Cemetery==
The section passing the Fawkner Cemetery was upgraded in February 2009 to include the world's first shared-pathway, solar lighting schema. Stonnington City Council introduced solar lighting on the [[Gardiners Creek Trail]] in May 2007.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://treadly.net/2007/05/05/clear-for-take-off-on-the-gardiners-creek-trail/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014181244/http://treadly.net/2007/05/05/clear-for-take-off-on-the-gardiners-creek-trail/ |url-status=usurped |archive-date=14 October 2007 |title = Clear for take-off on the Gardiners Creek Trail : Treadly and Me}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.stonnington.vic.gov.au/resources/documents/4_Jun_2007_Lighting_the_way_to_a_safe_ride_home.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=16 September 2009 |archive-date=27 September 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090927024510/http://www.stonnington.vic.gov.au/resources/documents/4_Jun_2007_Lighting_the_way_to_a_safe_ride_home.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> However they did not make use of a color schema as seen on the Upfield Bike path.

Previously the path was without lights and unfriendly to riders. The new array of red LED on the left and white LED on the right, creates a delineated [[Visual Approach Slope Indicator#Mnemonics|"airport runway"]] style, visually stunning, lighting grid, providing up to 600 meters of visible pathway for riders, even at the darkest hours. Hazards are indicated using amber LED.

For safety, the lights are mounted flush with the ground where they absorb more than enough energy, stored in their environmentally friendly [[supercapacitors|super capacitors]] during daylight, to provide up to 14 hours of continuous lighting.
