<div dir="ltr"><div>Good morning all</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am on the Community Liaison Group for the Airport Link project for the Toombul area. This project involves the construction of tunnels from Kedron and the City which connect to the East West Arterial Road. See the project website : <a href="http://www.citynorthinfrastructure.com.au/">http://www.citynorthinfrastructure.com.au/</a></div>
<div><br>The company responsible for the planning and construction ( and community liaison) is Brisconnections:- <a href="http://www.brisconnections.com.au/default.aspx?tabid=54">http://www.brisconnections.com.au/default.aspx?tabid=54</a></div>
<div><br>You may may be interested to view scale models of the roadworks (and cycle routes) which are available at the Brisconnections Visitor Information Centre at 109 Gympie Rd Kedron ((intersection of Stafford and Gympie Roads).<br>
Info centre hours are: Wed 10am - 4 pm, Thurs 2pm - 7 pm, Fri 10am - 4 pm and Sat 9 am - 12 pm</div>
<div><br>A model of the proposed rerouting of the bicycle path from Kalinga Park to Toombul is on display. The current bicycle bicycle route from Kalinga Park under Sandgate Road will be diverted to the other side of the canal in the next month or so to allow tunnel works to commence.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There is also a model of the Airport Roundabout Upgrade, featuring an overpass and 'fast diamond' intersection as a replacement for the current roundabout. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have no information as yet regarding on road bicycle lanes. I believe there may be an opportunity for on road bicycle lanes to be included as part of the roadworks on Sandgate Road in front of Toombut Shopping because the current bridge there will be widened. I will also be advocating for bicycle lanes or at least a decent sealed shoulder on East West Arterial Road and the Airport Roundabout upgrade.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I hope cyclists will provide feedback on the proposed designs. You can contact me, and I will pass it onto the project team or you can provide feedback directly to Brisconnections via contacts on their <a href="http://www.brisconnections.com.au/default.aspx?tabid=64">web site</a>. </div>
<div><br><br>Regards</div>
