BICYCLE NETWORK PLAN
1011. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the minister representing the
Minister for Transport:
I refer to the Western Australian
bicycle network plan 2014–2031 .
(1) How many kilometres of on-road bike lanes have
been installed since the 2017 update of the WABN plan?
(2) How many more kilometres of
on-road bike lanes will be installed to complete the WABN plan?
(3) How many of the completed
on-road bike lanes are protected bike lanes?
(4) How many of the planned on-road
bike lanes will be protected bike lanes?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Approximately
240 kilometres of cycling infrastructure has been delivered, of which 1.43
kilometres is classified on-road.
(2) This is yet
to be determined as the long-term cycle network defines the network by function—primary,
secondary and local routes—rather than form. Form is determined during
the design process.
(3)–(4) All on-road bike lanes delivered under the WABN
plan are, and will continue to be, protected as unprotected on-road bike
lanes are not eligible for funding.
