Proposed Network Amendments (Additions)
Three Possible Routes
The Bicycle Strategy initially proposed the Alexandra Ave Route. As a result of community feedback two more alternatives have been developed – Hewitt Ave and Watson Ave as well as some additional work on Alexandra Avenue.
The image on the right shows the three routes, as well as the existing bike direct routes that form a regional set of routes.
Bike Direct Routes (shown with dashes) already exist and are regional routes supported by the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure.
The three possibilities are discussed below.
Option 1 – Alexandra Avenue Route
Alexandra Avenue aligns well with the City of Norwood, Payneham and St Peters route onto Stafford Grove and is wide enough to allow exclusive bike lane
Option 2 – Hewitt Avenue Route
Hewitt Avenue aligns with a pedestrian crossing of Portrush Rd, has quiet streets, has reduced parking at the Hospital, links Loreto College with Rose Park Primary School, and has a better crossing of Prescott Tce using the median as opposed to a roundabout.
Option 3 – Watson Avenue Route
Watson Ave has quiet streets and aligns near the pedestrian crossing on Portrush Rd.
