Background
In November 2018, Council endorsed the Cycling Strategy and Action Plan 2018-2030, incorporated into the City's community strategic plan, Sustainable Sydney 2030. This strategy outlines a proposed bike network, with priority being the connection of the network to ensure safe and viable cycling options for the public. The target is to complete 80 per cent of the regional route network by 2024 and 100 per cent by 2030.
Research from Transport for NSW indicates that 70 per cent of Greater Sydney residents would cycle more if safer and more convenient infrastructure were available. Surveys conducted in the City of Sydney and neighbouring council areas consistently show that over 70 per cent of resident support building a connected bike network.
The City proposes to introduce a contra-flow bicycle
facility and one-way westbound traffic in Cooper Street (between Elizabeth
Street and Holt Street) and Arthur Street (between Riley Street and Crown
Street), Surry Hills to enhance safety for people who ride bikes and make
cycling a safe and convenient option for short local trips.
