The Grange Greenway is a walking and cycling route that generally follows the Grange Railway Line. It currently runs from Woodville Road at Woodville Railway Station (connecting to the Outer Harbor Greenway) through to Frederick Road at Seaton. Most of the route is off-road shared use paths with some short sections on roads/ footpaths.

We consulted with the community in 2020 and 2021 on route options.

In November 2021, we sought feedback on the proposed treatment for the Terminus Street (north) section of Grange Greenway between Charles Sturt Avenue and McLean Ave. It includes:

• Raised intersections at Charles Sturt Avenue and Gurner Terrace to slow traffic, improving road safety for all users,
• Raised platforms (speed plateaus) with bicycle bypasses either side between Gurner Terrace and McLean Avenue,
• Sharrows – painted bicycle logos, in the centre of the road, reminding drivers that riders can share the travel lane, away from parked car

This proposal will slow drivers, resulting in a safer route for people riding bicycles, as well as improved road safety for all users.

Consultation outcome

Thank you to those who took the time to write in with their questions and concerns. During the consultation period (18 November - 15 December), we received 5 submissions from the 550 letters sent. Submissions included questions about the path links and stormwater drainage and concerns about traffic speeds on Charles Sturt Avenue, hoon driving over the raised intersections and bike riders using Terminus Street west of Gurner Terrace.

Where to from here

As a result, we are planning to consider traffic calming on Charles Sturt Avenue (Jetty Street to the railway line). The street is on the 4-year program for kerb renewal work, with traffic calming to be considered as part of this work. The section of Charles Sturt Avenue (railway line to Fort Street) will be considered for traffic calming when the road assets become due for upgrade, if driver speeds remain high in this section.

The section of the Grange Greenway on Terminus Street between Charles Sturt Avenue and the Coast Park Path will be improved in future projects, in coordination with the State Government who have care and control of Military Road.

Subject to detailed design and contractor availability, we plan to begin construction in winter 2022. Construction will begin with the installation of the speed humps and new path links.

Construction of the raised intersections is planned to follow in the 22/23 financial year, subject to Council budgets being allocated.

This section presents all of the proposed route options together.
