About the project alignment.
In considering feedback from the community, Council is making plans for the future separated active transport connections on Lambert Road and Witton Road.
This connection is the most suitable route to accommodate continuous separated facilities for the next stages of the Indooroopilly Bikeway and what we will take forward into the future project design.
Alternative routes are not being considered at this stage and there is currently no funding beyond the current design phase.
Why are we designing this connection?
Witton Road and Lambert Road are major roads and principal cycle routes that connect people to riverfront pathways, local shops, parks, shopping centres and public transport at Indooroopilly and St Lucia.
Currently, sections of the corridor have bike lanes between parked cars and heavy vehicle traffic, alongside narrow footpaths that see high volumes of pedestrians during peak times.
We know from community feedback and technical data that there is a strong desire for travel along Witton Road and Lambert Road. There are clear opportunities to improve safety for everyone with dedicated cycle paths, better separation between travel modes, safer pedestrian crossings and a review of busy intersection layouts.
This project would also create safer, easier active travel connections to local schools in the area, which we know is important to the community.
A bikeway along Witton Road and Lambert Road would fill a missing link in the broader cycling network, creating a continuous link from the CBD to western suburbs and beyond.
What are the next steps for the Indooroopilly Bikeway?
The potential future Indooroopilly Bikeway includes three projects:
There are various stages of design development within the planning phase for each of these projects.
Considering community feedback and technical investigations, we're now determining the most suitable route for a future connection in this area.
Next, we will look carefully at more specific details like the location of walking and cycling paths, parking, driveway interactions, and intersection movements. Community feedback will continue to guide this work.
Future project stages are dependent on the allocation of funding and there is currently no funding beyond the current design phase.
