Advice
The Forum raised no issues with this Item.
City staff advised that no bike rings will be removed due to
the installation of the on-street bike parking.
Cr Worling requested City staff to investigate if the
on-street bike parking in Joynton Avenue is required giving that the bike racks
located on the footpath adjacent to the proposed bike parking are
underutilised.
Background
The City of Sydney supports share bikes as a sustainable,
low-cost transport option for everyday travel and deliveries. Use has grown
rapidly, with 3.7 million trips in 2025 (a 91% increase from 2024. However, the
rise in share bike and food delivery use has led to more bikes parked on
footpaths in busy pedestrian areas. The community is requesting that these
bikes be parked on the road to protect footpath amenity.
