Kangaroo Bay hotel shouldn\u2019t hold up cycling<\/p>\n

The major project permit process for the Kangaroo Bay development has seen a win for cycling, with the permit requiring a 4-metre-wide shared path alternative to the Foreshore Trail for commuting riders.<\/p>\n

Representations, including from Bicycle Network, pointed out that the project\u2019s proposed 3- metre-wide Foreshore Trail extension would be cluttered with side hazards, reducing its usable width for active transport.<\/p>\n

The project permit requires the developers to increase the Foreshore Trail width to 3.5 metres and to convert a proposed 2-metre-wide footpath across the back of the site to a 4-metre-wide shared path so commuting riders have safe passage through the site.<\/p>\n
