Background
The Draft Walking and Cycling Guidelines
The Walking and Cycling Guidelines provide direction on the City of Marion’s on-going commitment to expand on our existing walking and cycling facilities to create safe and people-friendly streets.
Regular walking, cycling and other active travel modes (which include mobility scooters and other small-wheeled devices) encourage healthy and active lifestyles, reduce traffic congestion, and support vibrant local economies and environmental sustainability.
The Guidelines also inform and support the development of 4-year priority cycling network plans, and new and improved walking links, using best practice techniques. They outline the proposed future network, expanding on the existing network.
The Draft Four Year Plan outlines the identified priority projects with an annual investment of $300, 000, and other commitments the City of Marion will make to improve walking and cycling facilities more generally. The proposed projects have been prioritised according to their ability to expand on facilities already planned or underway (timing), their proximity to schools, public transport, activity centres (safety and use), and their anticipated cost and ease of delivery (constructability). Each of the projects contribute to the development of the City of Marion's walking and cycling network.
