West Street Cycleway Stage 2 proposal endorsed

North Sydney Council < 1 mins read

Following community consultation, North Sydney Council has endorsed the design for the proposed West Street Cycling, Walking and Streetscape upgrade for Stage 2.

Council received 271 submissions through the public consultation process (5 December 2023 to 3 March 2024), with 75% supportive of the proposed design. Minor adjustments to the design were made in response to feedback provided through the consultation process. 

The updated proposal aims to improve active transport infrastructure along West Street, from Ridge Street in North Sydney to Amhurst Street in Cammeray. This route is a key initiative within Council’s adopted 2014 North Sydney Integrated Cycling Strategy which seeks to promote sustainable transport and improve urban environments in the North Sydney local government area. 

The design includes a 1.1km separated bike path on the western side of West Street from Ridge Street to Amherst Street, a shared user path at Amherst Street and West Street, new pedestrian crossing points, and pavement and pram ramp upgrades for improved access at Falcon Street and Ernest Street.

The proposal will now be submitted to the North Sydney Local Area Traffic Committee for final approval. Council will now seek grant funding for the detailed design and construction of the cycleway.

Mayor Zoë Baker said: "Council is one step closer to closing an important missing link in the cycleway network. The overwhelming community support for sustainable transport is clear with 75% of feedback from the public in favour of the proposed West Street Cycling, Walking and Streetscape design. The upgrade will provide significant community benefits and the thousands of students attending nearby schools by improving connectivity, safety and the overall streetscape facilities.
