Their modest street with narrow footpaths forms a link between the northern and southern sections of the GreenWay, the $57m trail where there is no straightforward option to take it off-road. Since the GreenWay opened in mid-December, it has become a cycling, running and walking utopia, attracting thousands of visitors, especially at weekends. But as those visitors pass about 80 homes along Weston Street, the residents have become increasingly disturbed, to the point where some say they face a “Herculean tsunami of a community-wide mental health crisis”.
