Toowong intersection improvements and Sylvan Road bikeway project

In mid-2025 we invited the community to share their experiences travelling through the Sylvan Road project area, aiming to understand your perspectives for local road network improvements and inform concept designs.

The project will deliver a safer, separated cycling route linking the Western Freeway Bikeway and Bicentennial Bikeway, alongside upgrades to intersections and the road network to make it safer and easier to travel through this area.

We are now sharing concept designs for improvements on Sylvan Road, Land Street and nearby intersections in Toowong, and we want your feedback on them.

Concept designs

We are sharing 2 different design options, which both cover the same area but deliver different changes to existing conditions. Each design delivers benefits and carefully balances the needs of residents and travellers. The concept designs include:

  • A continuous bi-directional bikeway
  • A part uni-directional/part bi-directional bikeway.

You can view the concept designs and read about the features of each design in the news feed below before having your say on one or both concept designs.


Have your say

We invite you to provide feedback on one or both concept designs by:

  • completing the online feedback survey.

You can also drop by one of the information pop-up sessions to learn about the project:

Your opportunity to provide feedback closes at 11.59pm, Sunday 14 June 2026.

Your feedback will be carefully considered alongside our technical requirements as we refine a final concept design for this important corridor.
