The City of Sydney have put forward a new cycle treatment to get around that ‘dogs breakfast’ of Union St and entry onto Pyrmont Bridge. This is a good proposal and it would be great to see BikeSydney members support this initiative. Submissions close by the 3rd Dec.

The project includes the introduction of a separated cycleway from the intersection of Murray Street, along Union Street to Union Square and Harris Street.

Planned features of the project include:

• Creation of separated, two-way cycleway from the western end of Pyrmont Bridge along Union Street, to Union Square
• Installation of a signalised cycle-safe crossing at the intersection of Murray Street and Union Street
• Footpath improvements and new kerb alignment in selected areas to provide better access for pedestrians
• Replacement of five small trees in poor condition and additional tree planting
• Relocation of car parking on the northern side of Union Street between Union Square and Pyrmont Street to southern side of Union Street. Note: no loss of parking spaces
• Raised footpath crossing on Union Street at Pyrmont Bridge Road
• New bike parking near cafes and shops
• Permanent No Right Turn onto Murray Street South from Union Street/ Pyrmont Bridge Road.
