Improvements to the Principal Cycleway Network

Toowoomba Regional Council is in the early stages of design for a cycleway project linking Margaret Street to Mary Street.

This project will complete an important link for the cycleway route along the popular East Creek corridor, which forms part of Toowoomba’s Principal Cycle Network (PCN).

This proposed design involves:

  • generally a three-metre shared path through East Creek Park (designed to minimise impacts on trees) with connections to the existing path network;
  • Raised priority crossings for two legs of the Margaret and Kitchener Streets roundabout.
  • In order to improve safety for all users of the Margaret Street roundabout it is proposed that the existing bypass lane will be removed.
  • Traffic modelling to be carried out at Margaret and Herries Street intersections to identify traffic impacts and inform the crossing designs.
  • Design to integrate with the Herries street and Kitchener Street intersection upgrade project.
  • New bridge behind the existing bus stop/shelter to replace the two existing culverts-style crossings, which provide a link to Creek Street.
  • Proposed raised boardwalk to minimise root damage between Creek Street and Horton Street

You can provide feedback on these designs up until 31 March 2022. The detailed designs are expected to be completed by the end of June 2022, however timing for construction will depend on the availability of future funding.

This project is jointly funded by Council and the Department of Transport and Main Roads through the Cycle Network Local Government Grants Program.

Council invites you to provide feedback on this project by emailing yoursay@tr.qld.gov.au, phoning Council’s Stakeholder Engagement team on 4688 6116 or you can use the feedback form below. The design will be further refined based on the feedback from residents and other key stakeholders.
