The Department of Transport (DoT) is inviting regional residents to complete a survey to help shape the future of bike riding in their local community.
The Department has three surveys now open for comment from the people who live in or visit the Gascoyne, Great Southern, and Kalgoorlie-Boulder regions with the resulting feedback used to shape long-term cycling strategies for each region.
It said the strategies would identify regional aspirational bike networks to improve safety and connectivity for residents and showcase some of the area’s best natural assets and local attractions to visitors and tourists.
“The surveys allow people to share how they use current bicycle networks and their preferences for future development,” DoT said.
“While the questions are focused on bike riding, people who use cycling infrastructure for walking, running, eRideables, wheelchairs, or mobility scooters are also encouraged to participate and have their feedback captured.”
Minister for Transport, Rita Saffioti said more than 15 Local Governments, as well as local community members, would be consulted to produce the long-term regional cycling strategies that would help identify the many exciting opportunities for bicycle infrastructure development.
“I encourage the community to get involved in shaping these experiences by visiting the My Say Transport website,” Ms Saffioti said.
She said the Gascoyne 2050 Cycling Strategy, Great Southern 2050 Cycling Strategy, and Kalgoorlie 2050 Cycling Strategy surveys were open for comment until 2 December.
