Advice
The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.
Background
Place
Management NSW is committed to encouraging people to ride bicycles and
improving the safety and amenity of cycling infrastructure by making bicycle
riding a real and convenient option for the Pyrmont community.
A Shared Path is proposed for
the Darling Island eastern promenade to improve rider safety by providing an
off- road alternative to Pirrama and Darling Island Road.
The implementation of a shared
pathway in Darling Island that is designated for the use of both bicycle riders
and pedestrians would promote safety and compliance amongst cyclist and
pedestrian behaviors, compliance by riders and deter high-risk behaviors among
cyclists by reminding them to slow down.
