The Surf Coast community can help shape safer and long-term walking and cycling options along an Anglesea road.
Surf Coast Shire Council has invited the community to provide feedback on two options to make Camp Road safer and easier to walk, ride and move around the area.
Councillor Mike Bodsworth said the two options included protected bike lanes on the western (school) side or a wider shared path on the western (school) side from the town centre to Agnes Lane.
“Camp Road is an important route for local families, particularly students travelling to and from school and the Anglesea Bike Path,” he said.
“We want to make sure it is safe, accessible and comfortable for everyone, whether you’re walking, riding or using a mobility aid.
“Safer walking and cycling connections support healthier lifestyles, reduce traffic congestion and help create more connected communities.”
Cr Bodsworth said Camp Road was a key local connection between the shopping precinct, Anglesea Primary School and Anglesea Bike Park.
“It’s really important for kids to be able to get around independently,” he said.
“This is an opportunity for the community to have a say and help shape a project that will benefit Anglesea for years to come.”
The two safer walking and cycling options were developed to present different ways to improve the path along Camp Road, with each option having different benefits, costs, and impacts.
People can review the proposed options and provide feedback by 27 April at surfcoast.vic.gov.au/CampRoadCyclePath to help inform the next stage of planning.
