GREEN CYCLE PATHS PROGRAM

124 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (31 July 2007). Why has no investment funding been allocated in 2007-08 for the Green Cycle Paths Program?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy): The Green Cycle Path investment funding in 2006-07 was for four safe crossings of arterial roads on the bicycle route alongside the Glenelg tramway. The funding provided four traffic-signal controlled pedestrian and bicycle crossings on Morphett Road, Cross Road, Marion Road and Goodwood Road. All four crossings have been completed and are working.

The investment funding component of the Green Cycle Path initiative has therefore been completed. The Green Cycle Path initiative will continue in 2007-08 with $250,000 of operating funding being made available to councils for the further development of the Coast to Vines Trail (formerly known as the Marino-Willunga Trail).
