Submissions
HabourLink
November 2010
HarbourLink is the proposal to provide overdue improvements for people on bicycles (and pedestrians) seeking access to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the CBD from the North. Currently well over 2,000 cyclists use the SHB. Today, there is no efficient or safe cycleway or cycle paths through several localities including North Sydney to access the Bridge and the 52 steps leading up to it! Bicycle NSW has now provided two separate responses to HarbourLink proposals - one to North Sydney Council in response to a study they commissioned and another to the RTA's initial plan for the first phase of a plan to provide links starting at the north and connecting to the current cycleway at Merremeburn.
BNSW GreenWay submission
November 2010
Bicycle NSW welcomes the inclusion of the Greenway shared path as part of the Sydney Light Rail Extension, Lilyfield to Dulwich Hill.
This transport corridor provides an excellent North-South connection that can be utilised by people walking and cycling, and to reach the new light rail stops and other public transport. The Greenway share path connects the Bay Run and the Cooks River Cycleway - creating new opportunities for families and people to explore more extensive areas of Sydney and its waterfronts.
