The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

 

Background

King Street is an important connection in Sydney's bike network as it provides a vital east-west route through Sydney CBD. The City is working with Transport for NSW to deliver King Street cycleway to improve safety and access for people riding in Sydney CBD.

In 2013 Transport for NSW published the Sydney City Centre Access Strategy which identified King Street as part of the NSW Government strategic cycleway network. King Street is identified as a planned regional cycle route in the City's Cycle Strategy and Action Plan 2018-2030. The proposed cycleway in King Street is aligned with the NSW Government's Principal Bike Network for Inner Sydney outlined in the Future Transport 2056 strategy published by Transport for NSW in 2020.
