AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The government is committed to extending the principal shared paths in the metropolitan area. (2) To date, 7.6 kilometres of the Perth to Fremantle principal shared path has been completed. A further 1.2-kilometre section from Hay Street to Nash Street in Daglish is nearing completion. The construction of this section of the principal shared path is the result of a partnership between the City of Subiaco and the state government. (3) When the Hay Street-Nash Street section is completed, a remaining 10.2 kilometres of the Perth to Fremantle principal shared paths will need to be constructed. When completed, the total length will be 19 kilometres. (4)-(5) The principal shared paths program is not limited to the western suburbs. Since coming to government, the Labor Party has built principal shared paths along the Midland and Armadale railway lines and alongside the Kwinana and Mitchell Freeways. Recreational shared paths are also being constructed along the coast, river foreshores and linear public open space corridors. In all, the government has spent $82 million on cycling infrastructure since coming to office.
