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. Thanks to funding from the Transport Accident Commission Local Government Grant Program, Council consulted with community about ways we can increase the safety for shared path users on Keilor Park Drive.
The project sought feedback on the following design improvements:
- Reconstruction and widening of the existing shared user path in selected locations
- Bicycle safety barrier fencing at the railway bridge end
- A raised crossing for cyclists & pedestrians at the Hughes Rd intersection
- New signage and line-marking for enhanced cyclist safety
- Various safety and hazard identification improvements
We consulted with community about this proposal from 28 October to 25 November. Thank you to everyone who took part - the consultation is now closed, and we've considered the feedback we received. A summary of this feedback is provided in the Community Consultation Report attached to this webpage.
The detailed design for
the proposed upgrade was delivered with the assistance of funding from the
TAC. This comprehensive community consultation has confirmed that the
project enjoys community support. The
feedback will assist Council in advocating for funding to deliver this project,
which will improve safety for path users (especially cyclists), and encourage
greater uptake of active transport between Moonee Valley and our neighbours in
Brimbank.
