As your voice in Community Cycling, Bicycle SA is here to advocate for you. But we can’t do it alone, we need your support. Bicycle SA participates in a range of state and local Government working groups, forums and discussions and contributes to the state cycling strategy for new infrastructure projects and more.
One of the most important things you can do as a cyclist is provide support or feedback on any plans by local or state governments to build infrastructure in your area.
When government representatives call for community feedback on issues and/or projects, it is best that you take the time to respond. It is also worth sharing it with your friends and family and encourage them to also have a say.
If you have any concerns around the safety of a particular road or notice damage to existing infrastructure in your area, the best place to start is by reporting it to either your local council or your Member of Parliament.
We also suggest that you take the time to acknowledge the good work our councils and state government do. Often a positive comment on their social media platform is a good start. Or you can even write a letter to your local Mayor and councillors thanking them for the work they are doing for cycling.
People often ask us questions about how to get more bike infrastructure in their area. Unfortunately, it’s not always a straightforward answer, however, we do know we are stronger when we all work together as a community.
The T2D Project team were seeking feedback to develop their Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) Plans. They wanted to learn about local needs and access requirements in terms of:
· Connecting to the local bike network
· Driving through the local street network
· Walking across and along South Road and through the nearby local streets
· Accessing local bus stops
Thank you for reading out guide on the 5 Things to Look for Before Giving Feedback on the Latest T2D Plans, and for giving your feedback. Bike SA will continue to engage with the project team to seek positive outcomes for cyclists as part of the project.
The City of Adelaide are considering three options for an upgrade of Flinders Street, and Concept #3 includes a safe, separated bikeway.
Thank you to all who submitted their feedback to the City of Adelaide. We await an update on this project.
Disappointly, this project has been scrapped. Bike SA will continue to work with the Department for Infrastructure and Transport, as well as government representatives, to find a solution to cycling through this critical junction in the inner south.
The Encounter Bikeway is a 31.5km multi-purpose trail that follows the spectacular coastline between Victor Harbor and Goolwa. It is a popular attraction on the Fleurieu Peninsula and provides a premier coastal riding and walking experience to the community.
The City of Victor Harbor was seeking feedback on proposed options for realignment of the Encounter Bikeway from Hindmarsh Road to the council boundary. Thank you to all who gave feedback.
