A long-standing quest of Bike Leichhardt has been for a safe bike connection between Leichhardt and Rozelle. Some of this has been achieved, such as the shared path from Leichhardt Secondary College at Moore St to the City West Link, and bike lanes marked on the section Parramatta Rd to Leichhardt St.
A major “missing link”, around 800m in length, is between Wharf Rd and Cecily St, along the Callan Park frontage (including the Ambulance HQ frontage).
The former Leichhardt Council had preliminary talks with the Callan Park authority at the time, but these lapsed when Amalgamation into the Inner West Council occurred in 2016-18.
The current Callan Park Authority (Greater Sydney Parklands) developed a Landscape Structure Plan in 2018-22, which mentioned a “Boulevard” along the frontage,( p56, vision 3), but this was not included in the first four year implementation program.
A new four year implementation plan is likely in planning and the time may be right for a bike and pedestrian link along or next to Balmain Rd. Inner West Council has expressed some interest in pursuing the link with GSP.
See a photo essay on the concept and options for building the Bicycle Boulevard.
