Parking - On-Street Bicycle Parking - LGA Wide

Decision Maker: Local Pedestrian, Cycling, Traffic Calming and Transport Forum

Decision status: Recommendations Determined

Decisions:

X022545.009

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Committee review the installation of "Bicycle Parking Only" and "No Stopping Bicycles Only" signs at 21 sites across the City of Sydney Local Government Area, as shown in the attached table and plans.

Advice

The Committee raised no issues with this Item.

Background

The City of Sydney supports share bikes as a sustainable, low-cost transport option for everyday travel and deliveries. Use has grown rapidly, with 2.4 million trips in 2024 (a 92% increase from 2023), and an estimated 3 million trips in 2025. However, the rise in share bike and food delivery use has led to more bikes parked on footpaths in busy pedestrian areas. The community is requesting that these bikes be parked on the road to protect footpath amenity.
