NSW Coastline Cycleway 2010 Illawarra Survey - Healthy Cities ...

2.3.18 Gloucester Boulevard entrance to Heritage Park
The pedestrian/bicycle access around the new
gate at the Gloucester Boulevard entrance to the
Heritage Park needs to be improved to provide
safe access to both cyclists and pedestrians.
Presently pedestrians and cyclists need to
use the road and venture between vehicles
approaching the gate opening equipment
Cycle symbols and NSW Coastline Cycleway
signs should also be added to the on-road
section along Gloucester Boulevard noting that
some of the route is bidirectional and needs to
be marked accordingly.
Suggested
safe route
2.3.19 Olympic Boulevard and Military Road, Port Kembla
Clearly mark cycleway from the intersection of
Olympic Boulevard and Military Road, past the
Port Kembla Swimming Pool car park and onto
the shared path along Cowper Street.
The path marking should include on-road bicycle
stencilling, directional arrows and shared use
path stencilling.
Road crossings should also be marked in
accordance with RTA guidelines.
2.3.20 Port Kembla Swimming Pool Car Park
A map is needed in the Port Kembla swimming
pool car park or adjacent park to show the
extent of the Coastline Cycleway, with distances
to meeting places and vantage points (see
attachment “A”).
2.3.21 Bidirectional cycle lane, Shellharbour Road, Kemblawarra
Improve on-road section of NSW Coastline
Cycleway along Shellharbour Road from its
intersection with Parkes Street until it rejoins the
shared use path.
The section on the East side of the road should
be marked as bidirectional cycle lane or replaced
with a shared use path. At present north-bound
cyclists have to cross the road twice in a short
distance, exposing them to unacceptable
danger.
Erect bidirectional cycle lane
signage, no stopping signs to
provide a safe bidirectional cycle
lane in accordance with RTA
guidelines
The road markings need to comply with RTA
guidelines if used.
