<div dir="ltr">Good morning all<br> <br>
<div>Information regarding commencement of construction activities in Kalinga Park and rerouting of the bicycle path from Kalinga Park to Toombul is in the latest community notice from Brisconnections. (Brisconnections are the contractor building the road tunnels to the airport - Airport Link Project.).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To view the newsletter go the the <a href="http://www.brisconnections.com.au/Community/Notifications/tabid/150/Default.aspx" target="_blank">Brisconnections Community Notifications</a> page and click on Construction Site Establishment - Toombul Precinct.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> <br>The notice advises the current bicycle bicycle route from Kalinga Park under Sandgate Road will be diverted to the north side of the canal in the next month or so to allow tunnel works to commence. I believe this will become the permanent location for the path.<br>
<br>As I am on the Community Liaison Group for the project for the Toombul area representing Airport BUG, I am advocating for improved cycle access as an outcome of this project, including on-road bicycle lanes. I believe the project offers an opportunity for on-road cycle lanes to be included on Sandgate Road at Toombul, East West Arterial Road and the Airport Roundabout Upgrade, since the construction project mostly rebuilds these roads.<br>
<br>Although the project promises 'enhancements to pedestrian and cycle paths,' I have no information from Brisconnections as yet regarding inclusion of on-road bicycle lanes in this project.</div>
