Habana residents are concerned it will take a cyclistâs death to prompt what they say are necessary changes to roads along a popular training route.
The 31.8km âHabana Loopâ covers a section of the Bruce Highway at North Mackay as well as Mackay-Habana Road, Farleigh-Habana Road, Sugarshed Road and Heaths Road.
Habana resident Wendy Lindsay said she got a âfrightâ after a close call with a cyclist, only stopping her vehicle in the nick of time when she saw the riderâs small single light in the corner of her eye.

Stanley’s illness became known when he took leave of his usual afternoon radio shift at Cleveland’s 98.5 WNCX in late February and the station released a statement requesting prayers for his family.
