Background

Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) has a vision for a sustainable and integrated transport system that supports liveable communities (Toowoomba Region Sustainable Transport Strategy).

To achieve this, the provision of a connected network to encourage people to choose active transport is critical.

The study area for this particular project is identified as a Principal Cycle Route in the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) Principal Cycle Network Plan.

This corridor will link the planned TMR Karrool Street project to the existing West Creek corridor in the CBD.

The project is jointly funded by state and local government.

What's the first step?

The first step in the process is to determine the best route for the corridor.

There are a number of potential routes identified that would provide the active transport connection required.

During this early planning stage, Council invites you to provide your feedback on the most appropriate route.

The shortlisted routes on the above map were developed in consultation with local cycling and advisory groups.

After the preferred route is determined, the project will progress to the concept design stage.

You will have another opportunity to provide feedback on the concept plan when it is developed.

Considerations when choosing the most appropriate route

When deciding where an active transport corridor should run, there are a number of factors to take into account.

The following questions will help to guide your thoughts when considering each route and their suitability:

  • How direct is the route?
  • How easy/comfortable would it be to ride?
  • How safe is it?
  • How convenient is the route is in terms of access to popular destinations?
  • How easy is it to navigate?
