Moonee Valley City Council is committed to creating a connected city of accessible, active and sustainable transport choices, as outlined in our long-term strategy, MV2040. Between November and December, Council consulted with community about plans to increase safety of the shared path along the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, in the vicinity of Strathmore Secondary College.
The project sought community feedback on the following design improvements:
- Reconstruction and widening of the existing shared path approaching the railway underpass
- A raised and widened boardwalk structure at the railway underpass
- Earthworks and retaining walls to improve sightlines for cyclists
- Bicycle safety barrier fencing adjacent to the steep drop-off to Moonee Ponds Creek
- New signage and line-marking for enhanced cyclist safety
- Landscaping and re-vegetation of affected areas

We thank all community members who took time to provide their feedback about this proposal. We are currently considering feedback received and will come back to community later in January with further information about next steps.
