Bike North Inc
Bike North Supports the Northwestraillink project
Bike North gives in principle support for the Northwestraillink project in its provision of heavy rail public transport infrastructure for the north-west community of Sydney. This should enable the removal of many buses and cars from the road, reducing pollution, noise, congestion and creating greatly improved amenity to the residents of these communities.
We are extremely supportive of a multi-mode approach to this project that encourages the use of active transport, walking and cycling, for the access of all railway stations. We do not support the creation of car parks with excessive spaces which can only encourage inappropriate usage of the car for short journeys, creating more pollution and local congestion. We do support the provision of world's best practice secure bike parking and other end of trip facilities in closest proximity to station entrances/exits. We also support the development and upgrading of cycling routes within at least a five kilometre radius of all railways stations to enable safe and efficient cycling access for local residences, commerce and businesses.
We support the realisation of extra cycling infrastructure opportunities that are available as a result of this project.
We support the continuance of safe and efficient cycling access throughout the construction period and request early consultation with your team members to avoid any threats to existing cycling routes as a result of the construction.
Bike North Inc, Bicycle New South Wales, and our neighbouring bicycle user group, Camwest are united in this support for a multi-mode transport project and request creation of a special working group to ensure this project meet these objectives.
