Mounts Bay Road Two-Way Project
Postby rolandp » Tue Apr 08, 2014 11:26 pm
The first stage of implementation of the approved Masterplan is the two-way conversion of Mounts Bay Road between William and Mill Streets, and the installation of a new shared path to extend the existing bike network to William Street.
Works are programmed to commence in mid April 2014. However, this will be subject to scrutiny by the Inter-Agency Transport Working Group, chaired by Main Roads WA, in consideration of traffic flows around the city and any other traffic management plans that might impact on this project being constructed. Ultimately, the decision as to when it is best to construct this project will be made by this group.
Looking forward to this.

Yes and no. Yes, there is a map in the minutes (100-odd page document, but search for Schedule 8 ) but is only for the main development area, but does not show the extension of the shared path to William St, hence why I copied the relevant text, in particular, subject to group agreement, will start later this month.Red Rider wrote:I just fell off my chair!

There will still be intersections with buses leaving the station, but finally that little bit of shared path under the freeway will again take us somewhere.
If you travel around this area, there was some work recently to err disguise the route to the shared path that went down to the foreshore which was closed to build the Mandurah train line, or, to put a positive spin on it, potential forward work for this extension (and so no-one got lost by taking the old path to nowhere).

Mounts Bay road dedicated lanes will be open within a couple of weeks
Not currently working in the Perth CBD, but will be doing so again in the new year. Anyone seen what they will look like?

They are looking good already. It's a shared path next to the Busport which links William Street to the shared path at Spring Street. A few complications whilst those building Brookfield 2 do some work for the new footbridge over Mounts Bay Road, but it should prove to be a useful link.

Using Red Rider's images, I took a ride here last night, currently not working in Perth CBD so interested to see how this works.Red Rider wrote:The path was open again at lunch time.
Mill St has had some paint applied also:
There are the bike lanes to get us OUT of Perth CBD, but none to get us IN. I wonder why?
And why is there 'end of 40kph' sign, same at corner of William St. Do we magically become less vulnerable at these intersections?

It may be overly pessimistic of me, but I feel that at some point the Elizabeth Quay William Street bike path will be closed and this will become the new route into the city. Here's hoping I'm wrong.

It's annoying there is not a decent connection from the foreshore shared path onto the eastbound roadway from Pt Lewis to William St, which actually has a great shoulder for cycling. Unfortunately you need to either go cross country to get there or deal with two lanes of speeding traffic entering the freeway. A permanent path connection to the shoulder just before you go under the second tunnel would be fantabulous.
