I move that on the next sitting Day this House:
-
Notes the Government will demolish the pedestrian and cycling overpass at Victoria Road located adjacent to Lilyfield Road.
-
Notes the removal of the overpass will impact the busiest cycling route in Sydney for two years to accommodate the WestConnex construction.
-
Notes the demolition is the cycling equivalent of shutting down the Warringah Freeway and that the Government would not do this to motorists.
-
Notes local residents, Bicycle NSW and other walking and bike groups have criticised the detours as dangerous and endangering lives.
-
Calls on the Government to immediately stop its plans to demolish the overpass and find a safe solution for pedestrians and cyclists accessing Sydney's Central Business District.
