    AN OVERVIEW OF THE CITY WEST CYCLE-LINK Prepared by: EcoTransit Sydney Date: 1 June 2010 Authorised by the Executive Committee of EcoTransit Sydney The submission (including covering letters) consists of: 14 pages Contact person for this submission: John Bignucolo 02 9713 6993 [email protected] Contact details for EcoTransit Sydney, Inc.: PO Box 630 Milsons Point NSW 1565 See our website at: www.ecotransit.org.au City West Cycle-Link 1 EcoTransit Sydney An Overview of the City West Cycle-Link Summary This document presents a proposal for the City West Cycle-Link, a new cycling facility that would: 1. Provide a cycling and walking tunnel running across and under the City West Link Road, from Darley Road in the west to Derbyshire Road in the east; 2. Offer a safe alternative to crossing the slip lane running from the City West Link Road onto Darley Road; 3. Closely integrate with the proposed Norton 2 (James St) light rail stop, increasing the flow of people in the vicinity of the stop, and thereby enhancing the sense of safety of light rail commuters; 4. Allow cyclists to bypass the climb up Lilyfield Road between the Hawthorne Canal and James Street; 5. Connect with and extend the cycling route along Darley Road proposed as part of the GreenWay project; 6. Provide a grade-separated alternative to Lilyfield Road by creating a comparatively flat and direct connection to the Anzac Bridge cycleway at White Bay via the Lilyfield rail cutting and the Rozelle rail lands. In order to determine its scope and feasibility, EcoTransit Sydney requests that the NSW government via the Department of Transport and Infrastructure (NSWTI) undertake an investigation of the proposal as it has the required technical skills and resources for the task.
