Rationale:
The proposed route follows quiet, local streets and reserves, maximising safety and easy grades as well as connecting three schools. The route is necessarily circuitous to avoid the Bates Drive which is steep and lacks road verges to accommodate pedestrian/cycle access between Oyster Creek and Box Road.
Several walking only links provide shortcuts through steep bushland reserves unsuitable for cyclists. |
