Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

The City is committed to encouraging people to ride bicycles more often and safely. The City is improving the safety and amenity of cycling infrastructure by making bicycle riding a real and convenient option for short local trips.

A Shared Path is proposed on Rothschild Avenue to improve rider safety by providing an off-road alternative to Rothschild Avenue for 370 metres to Crewe Place.

From that point onwards, Crewe Place and Primrose Avenue offer a quiet street alternative to Rothchild Avenue to continue south to the bicycle crossing at Gardeners Road to reach the Bayside Council bike network.
