Council Seeks Public Feedback on Bike Safety

Brisbane City Council will be consulting the community regarding cyclist safety on one of the most dangerous roads for bike riders in Annerley.

Starting March, the council will request the community and cycling groups to provide feedback on the plans and designs of the bikeway that will be built to ensure the safe commute of cyclists. This is part of the council’s initiative called the Woolloongabba Bikeway Project, which involves investment of $11 million for the upgrade of Annerley Road and the Stanley St Corridor

The project is part of the Better Bikeways 4 Brisbane program, wherein the city council will spend $100-million in a span of four years. The Woolloongabba project aims to give cyclists with a safe and continuous bikeway as they travel on Annerley Rd and Stanley St.

Councillor Nicole Johnston of Tennyson expressed that the planned cycleway needs to be extended. She said that there is a need to look into ways the project can properly connect with the southern suburb bikeways.
