Background
Be involved in planning our transport system by having your say about the draft Integrated Transport Strategy 2036 before Thursday 9 April 2020 (deadline extended from 23 March).
Our community has told us that being able to travel easily around Willoughby city and its centres and villages is a high priority. People also had concerns about the affect on local businesses and general liveability, including our health and wellbeing.
The draft Integrated Transport Strategy 2036 identifies the following five strategic directions for transport for our local area. Now we want to know if we got them right.
Willoughby’s transport system will:
• be sustainable
• link people travelling between the CBD and our local centres and villages
• support community needs while enabling growth
• make life easier by using smart technology to support growth
• respond to customer needs and align with government strategies
Please take a few minutes to review the draft Integrated Transport Strategy in the 'supporting documents' section of this page or at Level 4 of Council’s Administration building at 31 Victor Street, Chatswood from 8:30am - 5:00pm Monday to Friday.
Written submissions should be sent to email@willoughby.nsw.gov.au or posted to PO Box 57, Chatswood NSW 2057 by Thursday 9 April 2020.
A draft integrated Transport Strategy Information Session was held on Thursday 27 February 2020 6.30pm to 7.30pm at Willoughby Council Chambers.

nathjgabout 4 years agoPrioritise active travel infrastructure
Make active travel the first choice for short trips in the area by making it as safe and accessible as possible. Prioritise pedestrian and bicycle traffic over motor vehicles.
0 comment2MaryAnnabout 4 years agoSafe walking/ cycling options
To decrease the number of cars used as a method of travel to work, there must be an increase in safe alternatives. This should include safe cycle paths. Cycle paths between parked cars and moving traffic are not safe. Cyclists are injured and killed by door strike. Dedicated cycle paths are needed. It has been done in more crowded areas. See Redfern for example.

0 comment2MaryAnnabout 4 years agoExclude cars from the CBD.
Follow successful plans in Europe where cars are excluded from city centres. Public transport vehicles and delivery vehicles for businesses are allowed, but other cars are diverted to a ring road around the city centre. Hence the centre becomes far safer for pedestrians and cyclists and more vibrant places for both businesses and residents.

about 4 years agoMaryAnnabout 4 years agoIncrease kms of SAFE cycle paths and footpaths.
Most of the cycle paths I use are either so called "Suicide paths" / "murder strips", (ie. narrow paths between parked cars and moving traffic), or bicycles painted on a road. Neither of these are safe options. If safe options are made available cyclists will use them
0 comment0MaryAnnabout 4 years agoLobby the State Government to allow cycling on footpaths
Other states and the ACT allow cyclists to use footpaths in low pedestrian areas. In 2018 NSW had the lowest level of cycling participation in the country and a number of cyclist deaths and serious injuries on the state's roads. Bicycle NSW says. "Providing a safe zone for these riders will encourage them [ie. inexperienced riders, seniors and women] to ride more and further, improving their health. Where segregated cycleways are not provided, having the footpath that they can safely share with pedestrians should be a viable option."
