Moreland Bike Plan

Program Summary

Moreland is committed to the principle that roads should be designed to balance the needs and interests of cyclists as well as cars. This is reflected in the Moreland Bike Plan.

The Plan sets out a series of practical steps for implementing the cycling directions set by the Moreland Integrated Transport Strategy (MITS). It includes a full engineering works program for 1999-2004 and beyond, as well as suggestions for promoting cycling

Moreland supports and advocates extensions of public transport services and more frequent public transport. Improved public transport reduces the demand for motor travel and provides Moreland residents with greater freedom to choose safe, clean, convenient, reliable and economical transport.

Managing increasing flows of traffic within the municipality is a growing challenge for Moreland. Council continues to work with the community to initiate innovative traffic calming and reduction measures – to make local streets people friendly and prevent local streets being used as alternatives to main roads for through traffic.
