Recommendation
63. Provide enhanced cycling and walking infrastructure by:
- allocating a greater portion of state funding to local government cycling projects that deliver strategic, continuous cross-suburban linkages, based on Perth Long Term Cycling Network priorities and equivalent regional plans, including higher state co-funding contributions, further CBD links, projects across multiple local government boundaries and safer active transport links to schools
- seeking federal funding contributions for a program of cycling infrastructure priority projects
- requiring application of new safe active transport infrastructure design guidelines for all state and local government projects, based on international best practice, including addressing the needs of micro-mobility device users, cyclists and pedestrians through relevant updates to the WA Planning Commission's policies and Main Roads WA’s procedures for the design, review and approval of local government road works.
