Shared use paths for pedestrians and cyclists

The City Council is in the process of installing new shared-use cycling and pedestrian paths along the edge of South Terrace, in Carriageway Park / Tuthangga (Park 17) and in Peppermint Park / Wita Wirra (Park 18).

This is one of 11 projects flagged in September last year to improve cycling paths in the City and Park Lands.

Eleven sites where new or upgraded shared-use paths were promised, in September 2021.

However not everyone believes this is an optimum solution for either cyclists or pedestrians. APA's Peter Lumb has written this opinion piece putting the case for better, separated bike lanes, including in these two locations.

South Terrace, next to Carriageway Park / Tuthangga (Park 17). A bike lane which puts cyclists at risk from reversing cars.
