Knox City to East Burwood
A 7.5km bike route that utilizes
existing infrastructure
Aims of the Project
• To provide a safe commuting and recreation
style path that will link shops, schools, places of
work
• To utilise existing bike paths and put existing
infrastructure to better use
Cycling Lanes in Service Road
• This project will make use of service roads
• The Island created by the service road provides a natural
buffer against high speed traffic on main highway
• Placing the bike lane to right hand side of the one-way lane
ensures no issues with parked cars/garbage collection
