Wollongong and West Wollongong New Shared Paths
Consultation has concluded
As part of our commitment to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety and amenity, Council is proposing new shared paths in Wollongong and West Wollongong. Identified in Council’s Cycling Strategy 2030, the proposed paths will form vital links from West Wollongong to Wollongong’s foreshore. Plans have been developed and we’re now seeking feedback from the community.
Reserve Street and Gilmore Street New Shared Path
Check out the draft plans here
The shared path will make it safer for people to cross Reserve Street and Gilmore Street and make it more accessible for people to walk and ride to Gilmore Park and the tennis courts. This will also create a more complete link from Robson Road to Throsby Drive, and on to Flinders and Smith Street to the Harbour as a set of shared use paths and cycleways.
Bourke Street and Virginia Street New Shared Path
