Foster Shared Path

In the first round of consultation, we heard from 116 people who cycle and walk the corridor between the Foster town centre and Great Southern Rail Trail.

Here are some of the high-level findings:

• Over 50 per cent of respondents said they walked or rode a bicycle in the area at least weekly.
• Over 50 per cent of people walk or ride for leisure.
• Nearly 40 per cent of people walk or ride to reach the Great Southern Rail Trail.
• Around 40 per cent of people reported they felt unsafe walking or riding along the Main Road corridor and the main reasons for this were that there were too many cars and trucks, and speeds were too high.
• Over 70 per cent of respondents supported the idea of a shared path between Pearl Park and the Great Southern Rail Trail.

All this information was taken on board to develop the two draft treatment options we are now seeking feedback on.

Please Note: This survey will close on Friday 2 June.
