Wilson Street Cycleway

Reviewed

Project overview

The NSW Government is proposing to provide the missing link in the Wilson Street Cycleway.

Wilson Street is an important connection for people riding bikes between Newtown, Redfern, and the Eastern Suburbs.  The proposal involves extending the existing separated cycleway from Wilson Street to Eliza Street.

Providing this important missing link would improve the connectivity of our bike network. 

In April 2024, Transport for NSW invited the community for feedback on the proposed missing link on the Wilson Street Cycleway. We want to thank the community for providing feedback on the proposed plans.

Project information

Project Benefits

  • Delivers a connected cycleway network
  • Encourages more people to ride bikes
  • Provides a safe option for bike riders
  • Connects bike riders to key public transport hubs
  • Relieves pressure off our roads.

Proposed changes

To make room for the bi-directional cycleway we would need to remove 15 parking spaces on Wilson Street.  This includes removal of:

  • One loading zone
  • Six thirty-minute parking spots
  • Seven untimed parking spots

What Happens Next

Transport would like to thank everyone who took the time to consider the proposal and provide feedback. 

This project is currently not funded for construction at this stage. 

We will continue to develop the design for the proposal including investigating options for additional loading zones in the area for a future potential Review of Environmental Factors (REF), subject to obtaining delivery funding. 

We will continue to keep the community updated as the project progresses.
