Decision

The Committee carried the recommendation unanimously and noted the addition of condition as follows:

(GG)     The intersection of Cook Road and Moore Park Road must be redesigned to have a dedicated right turn bay on Moore Park road for drivers turning right into Cook Road.  

Background

The City’s Cycle Strategy and Action Plan 2007-2017 includes a proposal to investigate the provision of a high priority regional cycleway route from Bondi Junction to the City. The cycleway will improve safety for bike riders between Centennial Park and Surry Hills.

The proposed More Park Road cycleway will be an extension of the cycleway already built by the RMS, between Lang Road to Bondi Junction, along the northern frontage of Centennial Park.

The project was originally to be considered at the 18 October 2018 Committee meeting but was deferred for City Staff to investigate an alternative design that does not encroach into Centennial Parklands. Unfortunately, the investigation showed that this is not feasible, and subsequently, this proposal is being referred to committee for consideration. However, the Moore Park Trust has agreed to the works in Moore Park.
