Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan
View the plan below:
The Inner West is one of Sydney’s most populated LGAs and has the second highest population density. As such, there is great benefit to shift people away from private vehicles and onto active transport options. Regardless of travel modes, walking typically makes up the start or end of any trip.
The Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan intends to provide Council with a long-term strategy for the development and improvement of pedestrian routes and facilities with a focus on encouraging and increasing localised pedestrian activity.
The overarching objectives include:
- To facilitate improvements in the level of pedestrian access and priority, particularly in areas of pedestrian
concentration - To reduce pedestrians access severance and enhance safe and convenient crossing opportunities
- To identify and resolve pedestrian crash clusters
- To ensure that pedestrian facilities remain appropriate and relevant to the surrounding land use and
pedestrian user groups.
The planfocusses on key areas and strategic links throughout the Inner West Council area and includes all 26 suburb areas.
Based on the recommended actions, the project is estimated to cost approximately $18.1 million, with an additional $3.6 million as a project contingency.
