The project concept design for the North Brisbane Bikeway from Bridge Street to Kedron Brook has been released for community feedback.
The Brisbane City Council has released the concept plan for the proposed NBB project which will deliver a 1.2-kilometre bikeway from the intersection of Chalk Street and Bridge Street in Wooloowin to the Kedron Brook Bikeway.
According to the concept plan, the project will involve the construction of a three-metre-wide shared path on the southern part of Chalk Street, beginning at the intersection of Bridge Street up to the southern side of the intersection with Kedron Park Road.
A three-metre-wide bi-directional bikeway, along the western side of Kedron Park Road between Chalk Street and Wellington Street, will also be constructed, as well as a dedicated left-turn lane on Chalk Street at the intersection with Kedron Park Road.
Also, a “green street” along Bradshaw Street (east of Lutwyche Road) and Wellington Street will be constructed. Vehicle access from Kedron Park Road into Wellington Street will be permanently closed but the left and right-turn access from Wellington Street will remain open.
The footpath on the northern side of Bradshaw Street, between Lutwyche Road and Marita Street, will be widened and the shared Lutwyche Road bus station underpass will be upgraded.
Lastly, a three-metre-wide off-road bi-directional bikeway will be constructed on the northern side of Bradshaw Street along Bradshaw Park.
The Council is now asking members of the community to provide feedback regarding the draft concept of the proposed project by contacting the project team on 1800 312 777 or through email at bikewayprojects@brisbane.qld.gov.au, on or before 4pm on Friday 19 July 2019.
Locals may also personally visit one of the two community drop-in sessions:
Session | Date | Time | Venue |
1 | Thursday 4 July 2019 | 5-7pm | Lutwyche Road bus station, Bradshaw Street, Lutwyche |
2 | Saturday 6 July 2019 | 10am-12 midday | Lutwyche City Shopping Centre, 543 Lutwyche Road, Lutwyche |
Completion of the detailed design for the project is expected to be completed by late 2019.
