PRUAIP-Dot Lane Cycleway
The Parramatta Road Urban Amenity Improvement Program (PRUAIP)- Leichhardt
PRUAIP Objective
The project seeks to improve the environmental qualities of the inner west and see the importance of achieving sustainability outcomes within the projects. The projects shall contribute to overall biodiversity outcomes, reduction of urban heat island, increased urban forest cover, improved air and water quality and other environmental opportunities that the project can provide.
The PRUAIP is a NSW State Government, $198 million initiative under the Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Program. The Parramatta Road corridor and the UAIP extend from Granville to Camperdown, and include projects in Granville, Auburn, Homebush, Burwood, Kings Bay, Taverners Hill, Leichhardt and Camperdown. The vision for the Corridor, developed by Urban Growth NSW, is for a high-quality multi-use corridor with improved transport choices, better amenity and balanced growth of housing and jobs.
The project seeks to improve the environmental qualities of the inner west and see the importance of achieving sustainability outcomes within the projects. The projects shall contribute to overall biodiversity outcomes, reduction of urban heat island, increased urban forest cover, improved air and water quality and other environmental opportunities that the project can provide.
The aim of the PRUAIP is to reverse the urban decay and lack of design cohesion along Parramatta Road. The NSW State Government believes the PRUAIP will deliver tangible public benefits contributing to the delivery of liveable communities and neighbourhoods. The public domain upgrades along the corridor are envisaged to help to rectify the market failure and stimulate new development.
Design & construction of a new cycleway at Dot Lane, Leichhardt, linking Hay St to Norton St and Renwick Lane
- Project address: Dot Lane/ Hay Street, Leichhardt
- As part of the overall improvement to connectivity a new East west cycleway connection is proposed along Dot Lane between Norton Street, Balmain Road and through to Hay Street through the existing surface carpark.
A temporary link between Balmain Road and Renwick Lane (a shared path along Parramatta Rd) is included and will be delivered as part of the PRUAIP package
This will improve connectivity and will assist with the future activation of the existing lanes and existing hostile carpark areas.
Opportunities for tree planting to provide shade and assist with wayfinding will also be explored
