The Surf Coast community can help shape safer and long-term walking and cycling options along an Anglesea road. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
\u201cCamp Road is an important route for local families, particularly students travelling to and from school and the Anglesea Bike Path,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to make sure it is safe, accessible and comfortable for everyone, whether you\u2019re walking, riding or using a mobility aid. <\/p>\n
\u201cSafer walking and cycling connections support healthier lifestyles, reduce traffic congestion and help create more connected communities.\u201d <\/p>\n
Cr Bodsworth said Camp Road was a key local connection between the shopping precinct, Anglesea Primary School and Anglesea Bike Park. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really important for kids to be able to get around independently,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an opportunity for the community to have a say and help shape a project that will benefit Anglesea for years to come.\u201d <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
