Bicycles

The Canada Bay Bike Plan has taken into consideration a number of previous bike plans and related studies undertaken for the former Drummoyne and Concord Councils. Consultation for the development of the Bike Plan was based on input from the local community, the Local Bicycle Users Group (BayBug), Council, RTA and the Bicycle Consultative Committee. Feedback was very extensive from BayBug and included several meetings and workshops and detailed saddle surveys by members of the group.

Council has received government grants and provided its own funds to provide improved cycling facilities in recent years, including:

• The Bay Run around Iron Cove;
• Powells Creek cyclepath;
• Russell Park shared path;
• Lysaght Park shared path;
• The Esplanade shared path;
• St Lukes Park shared path;
• Taplin Park shared path;
• Installation of 34 safe bike racks around the local area.

Canada Bay is also working with the City of Sydney Council and other neighbouring Councils to plan the Inner City Regional Cycle Plan, which may be funded under the Metropolitan Transport Plan in coming years.
