Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

Place Management NSW is committed to encouraging people to ride bicycles and improving the safety and amenity of cycling infrastructure by making bicycle riding a real and convenient option for the Pyrmont community.

A Shared Path is proposed for the Darling Island eastern promenade to improve rider safety by providing an off- road alternative to Pirrama and Darling Island Road.

The implementation of a shared pathway in Darling Island that is designated for the use of both bicycle riders and pedestrians would promote safety and compliance amongst cyclist and pedestrian behaviors, compliance by riders and deter high-risk behaviors among cyclists by reminding them to slow down.
