Inner Sydney Regional Bicycle Network - Demand Assessment and Economic Appraisal
The City of Sydney, in co-operation with fourteen inner Sydney councils, prepared the Inner Sydney Regional Bike Plan that identified enhancements that would provide high quality radial and cross regional cycling links within the inner parts of Sydney. The network is designed to provide greater connectivity and segregation for cyclists between key destinations and along key arterial routes within inner Sydney.
After the preparation of the Bike Plan, further work was undertaken by the City of Sydney to refine the network. To this end, AECOM prepared the Inner Sydney Regional Bicycle Network Implementation Strategy in 2009 which identified an additional 54 kilometres of cycleways or 284 kilometres of cycleways in total.
The attached report will be useful for local government as an example of a strategic view of cycling as transport and provide ideas for infrastructure initiatives to enhance cycling in their regions.
This presentation was provided for the Metropolitan Transport Forum at their September 2010 AGM.
