As part of the Long Term Cycle Network Plan, we're planning to install new footpaths at various locations across the City.
These projects aim to improve the safety for pedestrians and cyclists, making it safer and easier for people to walk, ride and move around the area ensuring pedestrians no longer need to walk on verges or the roadway.
The upgrades also support the goals of our Road Safety Action Plan.
