Toowong intersection improvements and Sylvan Road bikeway project

This community engagement has now closed. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback. 

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

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.

We recently sought your feedback on 2 concept designs for a separated bikeway along Sylvan Road and Land Street, as well as nearby intersection and network improvements. This feedback period is now closed, and we're working to refine a final concept design for the corridor.

Concept designs

In May 2026, we shared 2 different design options covering the same area but delivering 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.


Have your say

We invited you to provide feedback on one or both concept designs by completing an online feedback survey.

Two information pop-up sessions also provided opportunities to learn about the project:

The feedback period is now closed. The community was able to provide their feedback between 18 May and 14 June 2026. 


Next steps

We're now analysing the feedback you provided on the 2 concept designs.


After we consider your feedback, the technical data and design requirements, we expect to share a final concept design in mid-2026.

Construction will be delivered in stages.

  • Early works at the Milton Road, Croydon Street and Morley Street intersection will begin in mid-2026.
  • Works for the Sylvan Road bikeway will follow in 2027, subject to detailed design progress.
  • Timing for works on Land Street will be confirmed after detailed design and budget confirmation.

  • Continuous bi-directional bikeway

    Key features:

    • Continuous separated two-way bikeway along Sylvan Road and Land Street
    • Wider bike lanes for users of all abilities
    • One-way eastbound traffic flow on Sylvan Road from Bates Lane to Croydon Street/Jephson Street
    • On-street parking retained in targeted locations. Peak hour parking restrictions removed. Parking conditions to be determined
    • Turning movement changes at intersections to ensure safety at conflict points
    • Widened footpaths

    Read about the features in more detail and compare with the part uni-directional/part bi-directional bikeway.

  • Part uni-directional/part bi-directional bikeway

    Key features:

    • Uni-directional bikeway on Sylvan Road between Milton Road and the Jephson Street/Croydon Street intersection, with two-way traffic flow maintained and speed limit reduced to 40 km/h
    • Bi-directional bikeway on Sylvan Road and Land Street, between the Jephson Street/Croydon Street intersection and Patrick Lane
    • All on-street parking removed to safely accommodate new traffic lane arrangement
    • Added signalised and raised pedestrian crossings
    • Turning movement changes at intersections to ensure safety at conflict points
    • Widened footpaths, and new shared path between Land Street and Coronation Drive
