Hi Cycle Snail
Makes very interesting reading. I have posted your item up on the Sydney Cyclist site. I look with envy at how the intermodal transport is coming together in Perth. Amazing. How many kms of dedicated cycleways have appeared between 2007-2011 there. Don’t ask me about here. The figs are mostly all lies

Yes, as I understand it the path will be between the fence and the road. At a cost of $3.6 mio for less than two kilometres.

Interesting to compare this to the cost of a four-lane cycling superhighway in Sweden: 12.5 miles (18 km) for $7.1 mio.

What I like about it is the section starting page 50 where the authors give their impression on the quality of the material they are using. Very useful…

A nice find. Adds to the few articles I have found with an Australian and/or New Zealand focus. I have them summarised here and will add this one to the mix.
