movement & transport As a tool, the Plan will contribute to the development of safe, convenient, efficient and attractive cycling infrastructure, available for all, and providing not only a viable alternative transport mode, but also recreational, leisure, tourism and health opportunities for the community. The Plan aims to double the amount of bicycle users within 5 years. The Perth Bicycle Network (PBN) was established by Bikewest as a framework which identified preferred routes for cyclists on a metropolitan scale. Local Governments would use this framework as the basis of their strategic plan for cyclists and identify areas for improvement or manipulation as well as it being a mechanism for obtaining funding from the Government. The City’s Bikeplan does not propose any amendments to this network as part of the review, rather, identifying areas for improvement and providing recommendations to Council for the continuing and efficient rollout of the City’s bicycle user network. Issues and Opportunities Respondents to the community surveys were generally happy with the transport networks in the Local Area. In the community consultation sessions, several opportunities for improving the movement and transport in the Local Area were discussed. The Improve Connectivity for the Pedestrian and Cycling Network One of the priorities identified from the community consultation sessions was for improved connectivity between the different transport networks and end of use facilities. A well planned and connected movement network system is important in providing efficient levels of access for local residents to local facilities. Survey results indicate that there were generally high levels of satisfaction with transport provision for walking while there was minimal satisfaction with cycling accessibility which reflects the lack of cycling amenities in the area. When survey participants were asked what they would like to see improved, cycling was one of the top priorities. In the community consultation sessions, pedestrian access to train stations and connections for cycling to public transport services were highlighted as needing improvement. In addition to this, upgrading of footpaths such as along the Boardwalk from Scarborough Beach to Trigg Beach, improving the provision of designated cycleways along Scarborough Beach Road, increasing the provision of dual use paths and improving bicycle parking facilities were also identified as areas for improvement. From the surveys, 90% of respondents agreed that street design should provide for an urban village feel to provide better pedestrian and cyclist facilities in the area. The City can assist in improving the connectivity of the transport network through the provision of continuous pedestrian paths and cycleways in the Local Area. The City is in the process of finalising a Footpath Policy and a Bike Plan to oversee the management of footpath and cycling infrastructure and address gaps in the City’s pedestrian and cycling network. connectivity of footpaths and cycleways and improving road safety were identified as important issues for the community. Participants also indicated a desire for a greater variety of alternative transport modes to be available in the Local Area. Promote Alternative Transport Modes Survey respondents indicate generally high levels of satisfaction with transport provision for driving however traffic and congestion were highlighted as problems in the Local Area. The dominance of car use is seen in the results of the surveys which show that in the Local Area, 80% of shopping trips, 65% of trips for eating out and 67% of trips to work or education are by private vehicle. The participants indicated that they wanted more sustainable transportation options such as cycling and bus services. Public transport services maintain accessibility for a wide range of community members and typically constitute a City of Stirling doubleview -innaloo - scarborough local area plan January 2012 34
