Thank you all for participating in the Bicycle Strategy Action Plan consultation last year.

We received 198 responses to the survey, 373 pins on the map, seven individual submissions, two written submissions, three entries on the route information map and 12 people attended the workshop.

We appreciate the time you took to engage with us. All responses and suggestions have been taken into consideration for further stages of this project.

Key findings:

• 86% of responses were from Waverley residents
• 85% were frequent or regular bike riders
• 69% felt unsafe riding around Waverley
• 16% felt safe riding in Waverley
• 95% are comfortable riding on separated bike paths
• 72% are comfortable riding on shared paths
• 53% are comfortable riding on painted bike lanes
• 19% felt comfortable riding with mixed traffic in a 50kp/h zone
• 30% felt comfortable riding with mixed traffic in a 40kp/h zone
• 54% felt comfortable riding with mixed traffic in a 30kp/h zone

A report on the engagement was submitted to Council’s Strategic Planning and Development Committee in May where the recommendation was approved to conduct community workshops in the next stage of engagement for this project. The objective of these workshops is to further investigate a range of potential separated bicycle routes that will inform the development of the Bicycle Strategy and Action Plan.
