READ NOWMayor John Giardina said cycling had numerous benefits, from promoting an active and healthy lifestyle, being better for the environment through reduction of vehicle emissions, and reducing transport costs.
“Our goal is to connect our communities, through improving cycling participation,” he said.
“From professional riders, those riding to work and families going for a weekend ride, we want our City to be one every cyclist can enjoy.
“Through the revised plan, we seek to improve the safety of the cycling environment through provision of better cycling paths and road spaces, benefiting all users.
“We are aware of the City being a popular hotspot for cyclists, particularly on weekends; not only for residents but also for locals who wish to enjoy the Perth Hills.
“Our vision is for Kalamunda to be easily accessible, to and from Perth City, and around the City for cyclists – with better infrastructure to cater for all road and path users.”
