T-way cycleway re-alignment

---

Public exhibition now concluded

Public exhibition concluded on 5:00pm on Tuesday 31 August 2021. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback.

In response to community feedback, the alignment of the path through the reserve adjacent to Toongabbie Creek was modified to have less impact on the park and maximise consolidated open space.

Outcomes of the consultation and a recommendation were reported to the Parramatta Traffic Committee in October 2021 and endorsed by Council.

Next steps

Transport for NSW announced funding for the Tway in November 2022 and construction is anticipated to commence early in 2023.

About the Project

The T-Way cycleway is a 30 km off-road shared path which runs from Windsor to Parramatta and is used by approximately 4,000 cyclists and 8,000 pedestrians a month.

The current alignment through Constitution Hill and Northmead includes three of the last four on-road sections: a slow 3-stage crossing of the Cumberland Highway; and a concentration of cyclist crashes along Briens Road.

A re-alignment of the T-Way cycleway is proposed that:

  • Separates cyclists and traffic
  • Separates cyclists and pedestrians where space allows
  • Uses a single-stage crossing of the Cumberland Highway
  • Directly connects to Toongabbie East Public School
  • Involves the building of a new bridge over Toongabbie Creek
  • Is less hilly and avoids commercial driveways
  • Connects into the new Milson Park path and a future eastern extension behind Westmead Hospital

Check out the Draft Concept Design in the document library. More detail about proposed works is also available in the Proposed Works section or Timeline below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should funding be secured, construction could commence in the 2021/22 financial year.

The pedestrian and cycling path is planned to open mid to late 2022.

There are no property access or circulation changes planned as part of this project.

There will be impacts to on-street parking, with spaces removed on the eastern side of Ferndale Close between the T-Way and Constitution Road.

Parking surveys have shown of the 120 spaces available in this area, only 40-50 are used during the day and night, with all houses on Ferndale Close having ample off-street parking and side streets also having excess capacity.

A detailed environmental assessment has guided the location of the bridge over Toongabbie Creek and the approaching boardwalk to ensure high value trees are retained.

The design of this project is being 100% funded by the NSW Government through the Transport for NSW Active Transport Program FY21/22.

Construction of the project will be subject of a grant application to the same program.
