What’s the GreenWay?The GreenWay is a 5km urban environmental corridor linking the Parramatta River at Iron Cove with the Cooks River at Earlwood. Following the route of the Inner West Light Rail, the GreenWay features bike paths and foreshore walks, cultural and historical sites, cafes, bushcare sites and a range of parks, playgrounds and sporting facilities.
GREENWAY MISSING LINKS UPDATE September 2016
How much of the GreenWay shared use path is in place?Nearly half of the 5km GreenWay shared use path is already in place, mostly the sections extending north of Parramatta Rd to Iron Cove and the popular Bay Run. Some southern sections are in place, but a lot more needs to be done. Most southern sections of the GreenWay are temporarily routed along quiet local streets. There are 8 wayfinding signs at intervals along the GreenWay. The route is also identified by marker signs and white stencils painted on the surface of local streets and off-road shared use paths.
How long does it take to ride the GreenWay? It takes about 45 minutes on a bike if you don’t stop along the way (other than at busy road crossings). It can take a lot longer if you stop to relax in a park, grab a coffee or visit a shop or local art gallery!
When will the remaining sections of the GreenWay be completed?In October 2015 the Greenway Missing Links Report was adopted by the former Leichhardt, Marrickville, Ashfield and Canterbury councils. The Report identifies 11 priority missing links which are expected to be built over the next 5 years. The links were assessed in consultation with the State Government to enhance pedestrian and cycle safety, connect with regional cycleways along the Cooks River and Parramatta River and improve local access to the 9 Inner West Light Rail stops. The councils commissioned a multi-disciplinary team led by the NSW Government Architects Office to develop a concept design for the most complex links F to J, (see map overleaf) which will create a continuous off-road shared path between Parramatta Road and Old Canterbury Road.
New GreenWay funding announcedThe Inner West community and local councils have been campaigning for over 10 years to complete the GreenWay. In July 2016 the NSW Government and the new Inner West Council announced a joint commitment of $14.5 million towards the cost of completing the GreenWay Missing Links. Detailed designs for the Central and Southern Missing Links are now being prepared. The timing of construction of individual links will depend on further detailed studies, planning approvals and development timetables. It is expected that most of the GreenWay Missing Links will be completed by 2020.
How can I find out more about the GreenWay Program?Visit the website www.greenway.org.au for information about the many active transport, bushcare, schools education and local cultural activities taking place along your GreenWay. Detailed information about the missing links is contained in the GreenWay Missing Links Report adopted by the four councils in October 2015 see: www.greenway.org.au/publications
