Plans unveiled to the community for improved walking and cycling connections between Centennial Park, local shops, schools and new light rail stops are designed to make it easier for people to walk or ride around Randwick City, Mayor  Lindsay Shurey announced.

The community consultation, which opened Friday May 25, details the 2.6km route that will stretch from Centennial Park to Kingsford.

The route, which was identified as a priority in a 2015 community consultation, will connect with existing cycle routes and provide easy access to UNSW, Centennial Park and the CBD.

“We’re committed to prioritising walking and cycling as viable transport options,” said Mayor Shurey. “These new plans will make it easier for people to choose more sustainable options for moving around Randwick City. The results will create lovelier public spaces and encourage more foot traffic on our streets.”

The streetscape improvements will also include safer pedestrian crossings, additional landscaping, separated, bi-directional cycleways, improved lighting and traffic calming designs.

Detailed plans and images can be seen online and feedback offered at www.yoursay.randwick.nsw.gov.au.

They can also be viewed in person at Council’s Administration office and all three libraries.

The community consultation is open from Friday 25 May until 9am Friday 22 June 2018.
