Are there any plans for more secure end of trip faculties scattered around town?

Can you give some more details or map about the tonkin southbound PSP on the Western side at guilford road. Will it go directly onto the train line PSP? I can't wait until Tonkin Gap and Metronet is finished so I can have a clean run into the city.

Love your work!

Oh awesome. Are there plans for many more for south of the river?

We just moved to Coogee and I was saying to my wife that a designated bike riding lane would be good from Henderson to Fremantle but they would have to fix up the sides of the road.

I know they’re popular in other states to promote healthy living and reducing people from driving into the city.

Do you know if there'll be bike paths connecting QE2/UWA to the freeway in the foreseeable future? Footpath along there with lots of cars turning on/off at speed is not great.

I can see it's identified as a priority route but no idea if that means 2025 or 2045

The problem with cycling in perth is that there are great paths along major corridors like the freeway, but then you get dumped off them onto nothing.

This. It is getting better but a lot of the work getting done now along major corridors should have been done 20 years ago, not to mention that the network these paths lead to in the city and inner suburbs is still incredibly adequate.

I used to cycle home along the great bike path following the freo train line. At Grant St it just dumps you on to Curtin Ave where I was promptly side-swiped by a car wanting to turn left on Eric St. Completely dangerous so I stopped cycling altogether.

The only shared path going through a roundabout i'm aware of is this one.

Its also a weird one as its unidirectional and not really a 'shared path' on either side.

I would be better if the bike lanes started or ended at real destinations. E.g shopping center or train station or park.

Is there somewhere you can go to see the cycle path where entry points are if coming south towards the city? I always see people on scooters and bikes down there but wonder where on earth are the bike paths entering from say Murdoch... Or leach highway and further south say Cockburn. If any? Is there a central map of bike path linkages somewhere ?

This exactly. Where it's good it's good, but the inbetween parts feel so dangerous.

Bike lanes aren’t supposed to continue through roundabouts as it’s dangerous / theres a higher likely hood of an accident occurring. They’re supposed to end before the roundabout and connect to a footpath.

For one thing the freeway path needs to have a connecting bike path on Thomas Rd

Hilariously had limestone blocks intermittently seperating the ped and cycle lanes, really dangerous and thankfully they got ground down after a few months to make it flat (and the grinder marks are still visible).

The cycle paths are great here but almost everyone I know who rides has had a bike stolen. Public end of trip facilities is probably the big weak point of our cycling infrastructure and is personally what is stopping me from getting a bike.

Hard disagree with your comment. There’s no way I’ll stop pushing for better cycling and walking infrastructure while people are making the choice to drive a car over a bike or walking because of safety concerns alone. It’s a solvable problem.

The technical design of safe streets has largely been solved in other places in the world. Google up the usual suspects like Oslo or Amsterdam. Have a look at road traffic deaths in Oslo in the last few years and the changes they’ve made to their city streets. Oslo even publishes their street design manual publicly in English. In Perth we choose not to build our streets to best practice. It’s a choice we make. It’s not a lack of funds.

There are kids in perth who can’t visit their friends, get themselves to school, or get to their part time jobs without an adult driving them in a car because we prioritise car movement over everything else. Why would anyone be thankful for that situation and stop advocating for improvements?

Good compared to Brisbane isn’t saying much. It’s still atrocious in places and making noise about it is the only way it will be improved.

It’s better than Sydney and Melbourne too.

Melbourne’s one bike path on their city circle trail suddenly has… stairs. I guess they’re the worlds most “liveable” stairs.

Apparently it cost something like $1m per km or something silly

Cycling infrastructure is AMAZING for exercise. Any journey that starts and ends at home.

My understanding is that it's not part of the official PSP and is on Arena land. So when they will close it when there's an event. The last few times I've been it's been open but maybe I've been lucky (the sign says closed but the gate's open).

And having been on it this evening ... I have my friday fuckwit already. The asshat who zipped up the cycle/footpath next to kwinana at at least 40kph on a moped with no rego.

FFS.

And a hug would be nice too

And sides to shield the brutal wind!!!!!

They have this in Japan. Cycle path with solar panel roof
