Wingecarribee Bicycle Strategy

Please use this area to leave your comments on the proposed routes which will connect Mittagong, Bowral and Moss Vale.  

It is acknowledged that cyclists travel outside the 3 main town areas but due to funding constraints only the towns of Moss Vale, Bowral and Mittagong were considered for the present draft Bicycle Strategy.
It is proposed to consult the recently completed Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plans for shared path construction in the villages.

An overview of the Priority 1 items for construction during the period from 2008 to 2018, assuming 50-50 shared funding by Council, would require a Council budget allocation of $400,000 per annum.
This level of budget allocation appears to be in line with Council’s current program, which includes for example $495,000 for the extension of the Bong Bong Track from the River to Eridge Park in 2008/2009.
Priority 2 and Priority 3 items can be funded in the longer term. Early opportunities for implementation are likely to arise through a range of programs such as regular road and footpath maintenance and upgrading programs, new developments and grant applications etc.
Please use this area to leave your comments about budget implications or the cost of proposed works.

Not bad as a vision but that isn't a very high bar. Could we go fo Australia or for providing facilities equal to European standards? 

Local Access Connections have been considered in the strategy to link the major town link path with key places of interest such as schools, pools, playing fields, shopping and main employment areas.
Please use this area to leave comments on this aspect of the plan. 

Main Feeder Routes to Welby, Willow Vale, Renwick, East Bowral, Burradoo and Moss Vale residential areas will branch off from the major town link path.
Please leave your comments here about this aspect of the plan. 

The consultants reviewed existing urban recreational routes. Have they missed any? How well does the draft strategy attempt to enhance and extend existing facilities?
Please use this area to comment or provide some ideas on how to improve the draft strategy.
