Bicycle NSW is working to bust bollards on cycling infrastructure. These pesky steel posts regularly injure bike riders – but they are too often wholly unnecessary. Our article Rethinking bollards on bike paths sets out what the Bicycle NSW hopes to achieve.
And in the last couple of months, there has been some progress!
* We have had a meeting with Transport for NSW to discuss new guidelines
* A decision about the much-maligned bollards on the Parramatta Light Rail Active Transport Link at Rydalmere revealed a possible change of approach within Transport for NSW
* Two bollards will be removed from the Powells Creek shared path in Homebush by Strathfield Council
* And a bike rider has successfully sued Sydney Olympic Park for $70,000!
Read on for all the details about these significant steps forward.
