About the City West Cycle Link "Study and Demand Assessment"

The monies donated will be used for study and research into the environmental benefits of a cycleway alongside the light rail line between Hawthorne Canal and ANZAC Bridge as an alternative to Lilyfield Road as an option, for the Council to use in consideration of the corridor to the NSW Government. Please Note - if the study were not to go ahead for reasons outside our control, the money would be used for other projects at the discretion of the Trust.
