Council has prepared this 8 minute video highlighting benefits of the HarbourLink project:

 

In 2008 this video was sent to State MPs; Federal Ministers; Federal MPs in NSW; Bicycle NSW; Bike North; Councillors in Willoughby, Mosman, Lane Cove and City of Sydney; North Sydney Precinct Groups; and North Sydney Chambers of Commerce.

North Sydney Council is pursuing sustainable transport options that encourage the use of alternative modes of transport to the private car and give people new options for active travel.

HarbourLink has emerged from this Vision to ensure that pedestrians and cyclists enjoy easy and safe access throughout North Sydney and through to the Sydney CBD via the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The scheme seeks to encourage more people to experience travel on foot or bicycle.

The concept is for an elevated shared path with minimal grade, spanning approximately 2 kms from the deck level of the Sydney Harbour Bridge to St Leonards Park and Falcon Street along the Warringah Freeway corridor.

The path will bypass the road level issues of steep topography, complex routes and congestion and will link the City's South, East and West with Northern regional cycleways and pedestrian routes.

The project is currently at concept stage and development is dependent on obtaining funding for the project.

HarbourLink is a vision for the future of active and sustainable transport.

Council would appreciate your support in urging both the State and Federal Governments to provide funding for this regionally important project which provides numerous environmental, health and transport benefits - please write a letter to your local State MP or Federal MP.
