Background

The City’s Cycling Strategy and Action Plan adopted by Council in 2018, identifies a requirement to improve connectivity for bicycle riders across the City’s bicycle network. The Cycling Strategy identifies part of the Regional Bike Network with a route from Sydney Park Road, along Mitchell Road, to Huntley Street and then mixed traffic along Belmont Street. 

This project aims to fill in the missing links on the City’s bike network identified in the Cycling Strategy and improve the safety for people riding locally, or to work and school. This will serve as strategic connection while improving amenity of the area while supporting overall traffic calming.
