Executive SummaryThe Waverley Bike Plan 2013 has been developed to increase the number and proportion of trips madebybicycle.ThiswouldreducetrafficcongestionandparkingpressureinWaverleywhilehelpingto improve amenity and community health. Cycling for transport and recreation is already popular in Waverley;however,womenaresignificantlyunderrepresentedinthestatisticsasareinexperiencedbikeridersforwhomalackofseparationfromtrafficisadeterrenttocycling.Thisplanespeciallytargets these groups.

The Plan builds on the main existing routes as outlined in the 1999 Bike Plan. It proposes upgrading the six priority routes and provides clear directional signage along these routes. Increased separation is proposed on selected routes which will promote using bikes for short trips. Bicycle lanes are no longer recommended adjacent to parked cars.

Two-waybicyclepathsseparatedfrompedestriansandtrafficareproposedfortheStateRegionalroute from Bondi Junction CBD to York Rd subject to community consultation and support from stakeholders. This route links Waverley to Centennial Park and the Sydney CBD. Three of the priority routes are already largely complete and just require upgrades in sections. The sixth priority route, CoastalCycleway,isarecreationalrouteforbikeriderscomfortableridingintrafficandwillinvolvedirectional signage, markings and local treatments for improved connectivity.

The Plan supports the on-going roll out of bike parking at all local destinations, including Bondi Junction CBD, the Bondi Junction Transport Interchange, local villages, beaches and parks. Locations for new bike parking will be informed by demand and consist of standalone U-bar hoops and rings attached to existing poles. Secure bike parking such as bicycle compounds or cages with racks will be investigated at key destinations in Bondi Junction.

The Plan supports Waverley Council’s sustainable transport programs, with a greater emphasis on safety on shared use paths, including a Code of Conduct for path users and bike safety campaigns. These build on existing Council activities in Oxford St Mall and are supported by Council cycle skills and bike maintenance workshops, the distribution of local cycling maps and special events such as Ride2Work Day and Bike Week,

Waverley Council will encourage and enable young people to ride bikes safely and courteously for transport and recreation. We will build on the high levels of primary school age bike usage, continuing this as they age through secondary school and young adulthood. This will be addressed byencouragingandenablingbikesafetyandproficiencyworkshopsandthroughdevelopingsafeaccess to schools.


1. Introduction The Waverley Local Government Area (LGA) is a coastal area with high residential density in close proximitytoparks,beachesandtheSydneyCBD.Despitethepresenceofhillsandtraffic,thereissignificantbicycleusagebyresidents,workersandvisitors.

This Bike Plan builds on the 1999 Bike Plan and outlines the actions Waverley Council can take to markedly increase bike usage in Waverley for recreation, commuting and short trips. Since 1999, as bicycleusagehasincreased,bestpracticebikeplanninghaschanged.ThisupdatedPlanreflectsthose changes.

This Bike Plan is the result of a 2012 review of Waverley’s bike planning and infrastructure which identifiedclearstrategiestoincreasecyclingparticipation,particularlybywomenandmoreinexperienced riders.

1.1 Strategic ContextThe 2013 Waverley Bike Plan supports the Waverley Together 3 (WT3) community plan, the Environmental Action Plan 3 (EAP3) and the Waverley Transport Vision.

The plan addresses key Council strategic directions, including:

� WT3 sustainable living direction L7 ‘People frequently walk and ride their bikes, particularly for local trips’ and its associated strategy ‘Create safe and accessible pedestrian and cycle links into, out of and within Waverley’ and

� WT3 sustainable environment direction E1 ‘Waverley’s community contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions’ and its associated strategy ‘increase the efficiency of car use through increased passengers, car pooling, car sharing, fuel efficiency and reducing trips.’

� EAP3 targets that ‘40% of total distance travelled is by public transport, walking or cycling’ and that ‘average daily kilometres travelled by Waverley residents by private car declines by 15% on 2006 levels by 2020.’

TheplanaddressestheWaverleyTransportVisionasdefinedarticulatedintheWaverleyTransportPlan. This is a vision for Waverley where:

� people regularly use public transport, particularly for trips to work and our beaches

� roads and intersections are safer and less congested

� parking both on street and off street is equitably accessed and effectively managed

� people frequently walk and ride their bikes, particularly for local trips

� all pedestrian routes are high quality, safe and accessible

� public transport, cycling and pedestrian alternatives are improved and encouraged

� our bike network and facilities are safe and connected

� all stakeholder needs for improvement to transport effectiveness and usefulness are appropriately planned and delivered

This plan also addresses the State Government Target to double the proportion of local (under 5km) and regional (under 10km) journeys using a bicycle by 2016.


1.2 GoalThe goal of the Waverley Bike Plan is to:Significantly increase the number of trips made by bicycle so as to reduce traffic congestion and parking pressure in Waverley while improving the health and amenity of our area. This bicycle plan will deliver cycling infrastructure and programs to achieve this goal.

1.3 StrategiesThe strategies of this bike plan that will support this goal include:

� Providing safe, separated cycling facilities for all ages and abilities, linking desirable, bikeable destinations.

� Deliveranintuitive,easy-tousenetworkwithstraightforwardlegiblewayfinding. � Ensure every street is a cycling street.

� Leverage existing infrastructure funding sources and collaborate with adjacent councils to partner for State and Commonwealth cycling project funding.

� Provide and monitor bicycle parking at bikeable destinations.

� Develop and deliver bicycle encouragement and safety programs address gaps in current bicycle participation.

� Issue regular positive communications to promote cycling for short trips.

� Incorporate cycling in internal and cross-departmental Waverley projects.

� Monitor and evaluate the plan regularly to inform the implementation of new bicycle infrastructure and promote success.

1.4 Cycling in WaverleyWho is cycling in Waverley

A survey of cycling participation in May 2012 showed that 13.7% of Waverley residents rode a bike in the past 7 days (excluding 2-9 year olds). Distribution of these residents by age are categorised as follows:

� 14% are 10–17 year olds;

� 16% are 18–29 year olds;

� 55% are 30–49 year olds; and

� 15% are aged 50 and over.

According to Australian road rules, 2–11 year olds are permitted to ride on the footpath throughout the LGA. However, those aged 12 or over must ride on the road or a marked bike path such as a shared use path. It is for this reason that Council has excluded the 2–9 year old age group from our data analysis and why the focus of the Waverley Bike Plan is on cyclists aged 12 and over.

Due to limitations in the national cycling participation survey we have continued to include cyclists aged 10 and 11 in our data analysis. We understand that this will have a slight impact on the cycling statistics presented in this plan but will in no way alter the objectives of this plan that result from using thesefigures.


Low cycling rates among women

The national survey also shows that participation by women in cycling throughout the Waverley LGA is much lower than for men. Of Waverley cyclists in the 18 - 29 age group, 15% are male whereas 2% are female. Similarly in the 30–49 age group, 38% are male and 16% are female.

More people are commuting by bike

Bikes are increasingly being used to travel to work. Data from four censuses in August between 1996 and 2011 show that while only 87 residents used a bike for at least part of their journey to work in 1996, by 2011 that count had increased to 838. As a proportion of the residents travelling to work, this represented a three-fold increase from a base of 1% to 3%.

The number of people working in Waverley using a bike to travel to work has increased at a slower rate, from 101 in 1996 to 249 in 2011, representing 1.6% of the workers travelling to work on that day in 2011. See Figure 1 for detail.

2. Bike Network2.1 Bike planning in WaverleyCycling in Waverley Council was initially planned through the 1982 Inner Sydney Bike Plan. Waverley Council Bike Plans were subsequently prepared in 1989 and 1999.

The1999WaverleyBikePlanwasreviewedbyGTAConsultantsin2012.Thisreviewidentifiedthatthere was enormous potential for increased cycling for short to medium transport journeys and that the key strategy to achieve this was through separation of cycling facilities from motor vehicles and, wherever possible, from pedestrians.

Every street in the Waverley LGA is considered a cycling street but this Plan outlines an implementation plan for priority routes and secondary routes. Many of these routes already exist and havesignificantamountsofbicycleinfrastructurewhichhasbeendeliveredsince1999.

Figures 3 and 4 show the priority and secondary routes in Waverley. A description of the priority routes is provided in Section 2.4 and proposed treatments in Tables 3 and 4 of Section 7.

2.2 Priority Routes

Route 1: Bondi Beach to Bondi Junction to CBD RoutesThe Bondi Beach to Bondi Junction and Sydney CBD route is Waverley’s highest priority route. Key sections of this route are to be improved to provide separation from high speed, high volume motor vehicleswithminimalimpactontrafficflowandparking.

A key focus of this route is the section from Bondi Junction to York Rd LGA boundary section. This route is proposed along Spring St, Denison St and Oxford St. Transport for NSW (TfNSW) has identifiedabicycleroutefromBondiJunctiontoSydneyCBDasapriorityforupgrade.Upgradesproposed for the State bicycle route already include a planned shared use path along the Oxford St boundary of Centennial Park between Paddington Gates and York Rd. This Waverley Council section between York Rd and Bondi Junction CBD would be supported through State funding. Options proposed include a two-way bicycle path. This will be designed in conjunction with TfNSW and Roads and Maritime Services(RMS). Proposals in the Waverley Council Complete Streets project provide the starting point for this investigation. Developed proposals for this route will be subject to community consultation.

The primary route from Bondi Junction to Bondi Beach follows the existing route as outlined in the 1999 Bike Plan. Objectives of this plan include improved legibility and comprehension for bike riders and providing greater safety overall, particularly on the existing shared use paths where cyclists share footpaths with pedestrians.

There is an alternative route from Bondi Beach to Bondi Junction that uses Birriga Rd in the Woollahra Local Government Area (LGA) as well as sections of Route 2. The Birriga Rd route connects to the north side of Old South Head Rd at Victoria Rd. Improving the connectivity and safety of the shared use path (SUP) on the north side of Old South Head Rd will enhance its use and thereby balance loads between the SUPs on the north and south sides of Old South Head Rd. In this way, bikes are much more likely to travel in the direction of the morning and afternoon peak time traffic,leadingtoanincreasedpercentageofsingledirectionuseandimprovedpedestriansafety.

Route 2: Bondi Beach to Rose BayThis is a new priority route along Curlewis St, between Bondi Beach and Rose Bay Ferry Wharf in Woollahra LGA. It also provides an alternative connection from Bondi Beach to Bondi Junction via Birriga Rd.

CurlewisStoffersadirectandrelativelylowtraffickedroutefromNorthBondiBeachforthoserequiring access to Woollahra or Bondi Junction. It also provides a direct connection to the commercial end of Curlewis. There is potential for this to be achieved through a two-way bicycle path orthroughamixedtrafficenvironmentwhichshouldbeconsideredaspartofanurbanrevitalisationproject including review of transport access. This Bike Plan recommends that an analysis of options and community consultation occur to determine the best treatment option for this route.

Route 3: Bondi Junction to Bronte BeachThis is an existing route which connects Bondi Junction to Bronte Beach. It provides a safe connection for riders going to Clovelly via the Randwick Council bike network. The route through Waverley park and Henrietta St is largely complete, subject to proposed changes that include the intersection of Henrietta St and Salisbury St. Treatment is still required for the Waverley St / Bondi Rd / Council Rd intersection and for the connection to Bondi Junction via Waverley St Mall, which will be delivered under this bike plan.


Route 4: Bondi Junction to UNSW/Randwick via Queens ParkThis is an existing route linking Bondi Junction to the University of NSW (UNSW) and Randwick, as well as providing access to local trip generators including Centennial Park and Queens Park. This route uses existing bicycle infrastructure such as shoulder lanes on Bourke St and Queens Park Rd and extends the off road shared use path through Queens Park. The current priority is to fully signpost this route and collaborate with Randwick Council to complete a safe link to UNSW.

Route 5: Bronte Beach to Centennial ParkThis east-west route, which connects these two trip generators, is suitable for more experienced cyclistsasitrequiresmixedtrafficuseofBronteRd,utilisestheexistingshoulderlanesonMacpherson St and involves a hill climb from Bronte Beach. The current priority is to fully signpost this route and conduct further investigations with Randwick Council and Centennial Parklands to identify the best route that runs adjacent to or through Queens Park.

Route 6: Coastal CyclewayThe Waverley Coastal Cycleway is a recreational route for more experienced cyclists that follows the coastline and forms part of a future continuous coastal route from Sydney Harbour to Botany Bay. The current priority is to signpost an on-road route and implement safety improvements.

4. Bicycle ParkingThe provision of bicycle parking encourages cycling to local facilities and destinations. Bicycle parking should be provided in accordance with Australian Standard, Parking Facilities, Part 3: Bicycle Parking (AS 2890.3.1993)

Through the development process, Waverley Council works to ensure that bike parking is included in all new residential developments and high quality end of trip facilities are included in larger developments.

Waverley Council is regularly increasing the number and availability of on-street bike racks in the WaverleyLGA.CouncilcurrentlyspecifiesU-RacksandringsasillustratedinFigure11toprovidesecure bike parking options. Bike parking has been provided at trip destinations such as Bondi Junction CBD, Bondi Road, Glenyar Rd, Hall St strip shopping centres, Bondi and Bronte Beaches andparkssuchasWaverleyPark.FurtherparkingisbeingrolledoutasneedsareidentifiedandthisPlan includes an annual budget allocation for increasing and upgrading bike parking. Requests for additional parking should be submitted to council via the Waverley Council website.

Waverley Council is planning to establish a bike parking compound at the Bondi Junction Interchange to cater for and encourage further use of the bicycle for short trips.


5. Encouragement and Promotion Waverley Council encourages and promotes the use of the bicycle for transport through:

� production and distribution of local bicycle map brochure Cycling in Waverley and Woollahra

� regularly running educational cycle skills and bike maintenance workshops

� collaboration with local businesses and neighbouring councils

� work with schools to support and encourage active travel

� promotingbikeproficiencyworkshopsandsafetraveltoschoolscelebratingspecialcycleeventssuch as Ride2Work Day, Bike Week and Ride2School Day

� developing Code of Conduct for shared use path users

� running shared use path behaviour campaign

� running Bike Safety events at shared use paths and shared zones such as Oxford St Mall.

� running share the road safely campaign

� targeting women in cycling promotional events


Table 1 describes and illustrates the various types of infrastructure treatments that will be used in implementing the Waverley Bike Plan.

Table 1: Type of infrastructure treatment

Shared use paths (in or not in the road reserve)

Shared use paths (SUP) can be located adjacent to a roadway or through a reserve. They are used by both cyclists and pedestrians, with linemarking and/or signage designating their legal status as a Shared use path and helping to encourage safe use by both user groups. Pedestrians have the right of way.

Example: Waverley Park, Bondi Junction

One-way pair bicycle paths (in the road reserve)

One-way bicycle paths are exclusive bicycle paths that provide forone-waybicycletrafficoneachsideoftheroadandarecompletelyseparatefromparkedcars,motorvehicletrafficand pedestrians. They are located in the road reserve but off carriageway in the road related area. They can also be located in parks and reserves, similar to shared use paths.

Example: Odense, Denmark

Two-way separated bicycle paths (in or not in the road reserve)

Two-way cycleways are exclusive Bicycle Paths that are completelyseparatefromparkedcars,motorvehicletrafficandpedestrians. They provide bi-directional travel on one side of the street off carriageway and in the road related area. They can also be located in parks and reserves.

Example: College Street, Sydney

6. Description of infrastructure treatments


Bicycle Lanes

Bicycle Lanes are on-road, one-way facilities which designate road space exclusively for cycling. The lanes must be legally signposted with bicycle lane signs. In built-up areas, bike-lanes often run adjacent to parked cars, a buffer zone is incorporated to reduce the hazard when drivers open their car doors. To increase driver awareness, there are usually bicycle pavement stencils and sometimes green coloured pavement.

Example: William Street , Sydney

Bus lanes

Buslanesarelegalinstrumentstocontroltheuseofatrafficlaneby buses, taxis, hire cars, motor cycles and bicycles. Lanes may be time limited to say either or both AM and PM peak periods on weekdays or they may operate 24/7. To provide for a comfortable cycling environment that allows buses and bicycles to pass each other, widths in excess of 4.0m are preferred. Bus lanes are typically marked with red coloured pavement. On cycling routes, bicycle pavement markings may be used to emphasise the presence of cyclists.

Example: Oxford Street west of Taylor Square, City of Sydney

Contra-flow bicycle lanes

Contra-flowbicyclelanesareon-roadlanesthataresignedandmarked to allow cycling in the opposite direction of an otherwise one-waystreet.Lanesaretypicallyfittedwithgreenpainttoemphasise the presence of cyclists travelling in the opposite direction.

Example: Martins Ave, Henrietta Street, Lamrock Ave Bondi

Head Start Storage Areas or ‘bike boxes’

Bicycle boxes are line-marked bicycle storage facilities provided at intersections. These facilities are used at signalised intersections, usually in conjunction with a signal for cyclists via a bicycle lantern. The‘bikebox’allowsacyclisttowaitforatrafficsignaltochangefrom the start of the travel lane. When the signal changes, cyclists have a head start to prepare to ride from a stopped position.

Example: Curlewis Street and Glenayr Ave, Bondi


Shared Road Shoulders

Road Shoulders are one-way facilities which are shared between parked cars and cyclists. To encourage good parking discipline, it is recommended to add a supplementary broken line, but there is no formal buffer zone to guard from potential hazards by opening car doors. To increase driver awareness, there are usually bicycle pavement stencils and sometimes green coloured pavement.

Example: Victoria Street

Mixed-traffic

Roads which are linemarked and/or signed for mixed use by motorvehiclesandbicycles.Mixed-trafficfacilitiesaresuitableforroadswithlowtrafficvolumesandspeeds,suchasquietresidential streets.

Example: Dalley Street, Bondi Junction

Hybrid shared road shoulders & mixed-traffic

Road shoulder treatments are used in the uphill direction (upper right circle) where the area is shared by parked vehicles and cyclists. In a downhill direction roads are linemarked and/ or signed for mixed use by motor vehicles and bicycles (lower left circle).

Given the constrained road width and topography of Waverley LGA, such directional treatments are appropriate.

Example: Mount Street, Coogee


Shared zones

Sharedzonesarespecialmixed-trafficenvironments.Zonesarelegally controlled by signs and markings that restrict the speed limit to 10km/h, restrict parking to marked spaces and afford priority to pedestrians. Typically the road environment is designed with special pavements, speed controls and landscaping, with little or distinguishable footpaths.

Example: Wells Street, Redfern, City of Sydney

Right Turn Lane

The turn lane assists cyclists making a right turn. Physical separation reduces the likelihood of a vehicle incursion into the bicycle turn lane. Cyclists make the turn from the protected lane whenthereisagapinthetraffic.

Example: Bronte Road

General traffic

Nospecificprovisionsaremadeforcyclists.Althoughmoststreets are suitable for cycling others are unsafe due to high trafficvolumesandspeeds.Whereanalternaterouteisnotfeasible / easily accessible, cyclists will bicycle on streets with no infrastructure.

Example: Anzac Parade and Allison Road, Randwick

Roundabouts

Separate facilities for cyclists are not recommended at roundabouts, unless they are off road. Cyclists are safer to ride withtrafficatroundabouts,ratherthanalefthandcurvedlane.Pavement marking at entrance and though a roundabout should indicate where to ride. Where there is a bike lane prior to the roundabout, merge pavement marking should be installed at least 50 metres prior to the roundabout. Watch for cyclists signage.

Example: Blair St and Mitchell St roundabout

6.1 Shared Use Paths (SUP)Shared use paths are the most common off-road provision for cyclists in Australia. In principle, they are suitable for most kinds of path users provided they are properly designed, constructed and maintained. Sharedusepathsare,bydefinition,usedbybothpedestriansandcyclistsandconflictscanarisefromthis shared use. NSW and Australian evidence supports the view that the actual risk of an accident and resultant injury due to a pedestrian and cyclist colliding is low. Nevertheless perception of risk is quite highandforthefrailandelderlythefearofconflictcanitselfresultinanaccident.Theactualriskalsoincreases as the volume of both pedestrians and cyclists increases, although this can be ameliorated where most pedestrian and cyclists movements are in the same direction, such as when pedestrians in the morning are walking towards a train station and the evening away from a train station.

Shared use paths are considered only where there is no practical safe and direct alternative This Bike Planproposesanumberofstrategiestoaddressthepotentialforpedestrian/cyclistconflict:

1. Infrastructure

2. Code of Conduct for shared use path users

3. Shared use path behaviour campaign

4. Bike Safety Events

5. Enforcement.

Infrastructure

Shared use paths to be widened to Austroads standard where appropriate, pavement standardised with shared use path markings and legislated and behavioural signage installed. Examples of legislatedandbehaviouralsignageisshowninChapter3,WayfindingandSignage.Thisaimstoimprove the behaviour of cyclists as well as demonstrate to pedestrians that cyclists are able to ride in some locations.

Code of Conduct for shared use path users

Develop a code of conduct for use of all Waverley shared use paths and shared zones. The code of conduct will focus on slow cycling, giving space to other path users and use of bells. The code of conduct will also clarify the multi-purpose use of these paths for pedestrians and encourage respectful behaviour by all path users.

Shared use path behaviour campaign

Council to actively promote improved behaviour on shared use paths with safety events on shared use paths, brochures, posters, input into local media, working with bike groups, bike shops and community groups.

Bike Safety Events

On site events are already held in Oxford St Mall to increase compliance with speed limit and improve behaviour. These are to be upgraded to include compliance with code of conduct and extended to other shared use path locations in the Waverley LGA.

Enforcement

Existing and Proposed Infrastructure Treatment

1 Oxford St Mall 1 Existing signed shared zone.

2 Old South Head Road (Bondi Rd to Victoria Rd)

1 Existing SUP on the south side of Old South Head Rd to be upgraded with new pavement markings and regulatory signage. Work with Woollahra Council to install kerb ramps across the exit of Syd Einfeld Drive at Old South Head Rd so that there is access to the SUP on the north side of Old South Head Road. Behavioural signage to be installed in problem areas.

3 Waverley St Mall 3 Existing unsigned shared zone. New shared zone signage will be installed.

4 Waverley Park 3 Existing marked and signposted SUP to be upgraded as required. Behaviour signage required.

5 Queens Park 4 Existing marked and signposted SUP through Queens Park and along Queens Park Rd to be extended to Bourke St.

6 Bronte Park 6 Pathway to be marked and signposted as SUP. Behaviour signage required.

7 Martins Lane 1 Existing marked and signposted SUP to be upgraded as required.

8 Council St (Dalley St to Waverley St)

3 Existing connection to be marked and signposted as SUP.


7. Implementation planThe following sections detail the proposed infrastructure treatments to implement and improve the routesidentifiedintheNetworkMap.Table3liststhetreatmentsforpriorityroutesandTable4thosefor the secondary routes.

The total cost of these treatments is estimated at $4,996,117. It is envisaged that these routes would be implemented over a 5-year timeframe, with a large proportion of the funding obtained from external sources. This would be complemented by a regular annual council budget for implementation of the Bike Plan. Waverley Council envisages that a proportion of priority Route 1 could be funded under NSW state priority bike plan funding.

Waverley Council would also seek other external funding opportunities in conjunction with Woollahra and Randwick Councils to implement the Coastal Cycleway.
