A report will be presented to Council on Tuesday 19 February 2019 documenting community feedback on the proposed design concept for the Bay Trail shared path at the high risk site between Sandown Street and the Royal Brighton Yacht Club to address safety hazards to path users.

Feedback received from the community identifies a high level of support for the project, with 89% of respondents either fully supporting or somewhat supporting the proposed design concept. There is therefore high community support for the establishment of a separated at-grade path for cyclists at the high risk site.

The report recommends that Council:

1. notes the level of community support outlined in this report following the community engagement activities undertaken in relation to the proposal to duplicate the section of the Bay Trail shared path between Sandown Street and the Royal Brighton Yacht Club;

2. endorses the duplication of the Bay Trail as a surface path as shown in Attachment 1 between Sandown Street and the Royal Brighton Yacht Club to address a ‘high risk’ safety hazard to path users; and

3. considers funding for this project in the 2019/2020 Council Budget.

You can ready the full report and engagement overview (item 10.8 on the Agenda) and if you wish to request to be heard in the Council meeting you will need to submit the form by 11am on Tuesday 19 February.
