Our walking and cycling networks consist of footpaths, shared paths, footbridges, bike lanes, mountain biking, boardwalks and cycleways. We aim to improve walking and cycling opportunities for the whole community.
They support and encourage our community to get outside and enjoy moving around the city easily and safely to improve health, economic and social outcomes.We are working on a plan to encourage different choices on how we travel, bringing together several strategies, projects and initiatives.
Other related projects include speed reductions near schools and in townships, Streets for People, and a road safety campaign around safer walking and cycling.
