Have say on linking Cooks, M5 bike path

PLANNING has begun on developing a new cycle route, which will provide an important link between the Cooks River Trail and the M5 shared path.

Route EW05 is in the design stage, with consultants developing a range of options.
It will run from the M5 shared path at Bexley Road, Bexley North, to the Cooks River bike path at Macquarie Road, Earlwood, and when completed, will be a continuous bike path from the Cooks River, connecting Botany Bay to Homebush Bay.
It will also provide cycle access to a number of council facilities, such as Earlwood Oval, Canterbury Leisure and Aquatic Centre, and Earlwood Senior Citizens’ Centre.
Canterbury Bankstown Council will consult with residents living on the streets where work will occur, as a result of the proposed cycle route, as well as the wider community.
Residents are encouraged to provide their feedback on the concept designs by 5pm, December 6. The designs can be viewed at cb.city/haveyoursay.
