Could you give us a video where you go and check out the progress of those cycleways you briefly showed under construction and nearly finished @2:23 continuing up Castlereagh St and Liverpool/Oxford St? There are no recent videos and very few recent pics around.
Hi I did do a video on these new cycleways a month ago - it is called: New Sydney cycle infrastructure. They have just finished a second section of oxford street and I’m waiting for the Castlereagh Street cycleway to open before doing an updated video. (Castleregh st cycleway should not be to far off opening)
@@MrAjayz Yeah I just started the "NEW cycle infrastructure" video of yours now as I read your comment, great stuff! They both look pretty close to being finished, right? At least that's how it looks in this video above where my original comment about @2:23. Oxford St will be such a game-changer, if only they could sort out a proper bike solution on Broadway/Parramatta Road too you would see an explosion of cyclists I reckon. I used to ride from Petersham to my office on Kent St near Wynyard sometimes (that was in 2017-2018), it wasn't too bad except the section of Parramatta Road and Pyrmont Bridge Road was god awful. But really the inner-west and inner-east should be cycling paradise even better than the inner-south is mainly thanks to Bourke St cycleway and dense walkable development.
@@MrAjayz Yeah but they are talking about light rail by 2035, whereas a cycling option could be implemented next week if you wanted to with a more substantial pop-up arrangement than we saw during COVID. Also logically if I am going to shut down a massive arterial road for 5-6 years in order to build a light rail (which I support), I would logically build a pop-up cycleway first or a major alternative cycling route so that the maximum number of people possible can switch to cycling for the duration of the construction to relieve the buses - this is one criticism I have of the Bankstown line conversion is they could implement a bunch of pop-up cycleways to ease the strain but they seem to want the maximum amount of status quo possible.
