Project update

We applied for funding through the State Government Get NSW Active Program 2022/23 for a shared path and pedestrian crossing upgrade on Jacksons Road, Warriewood.

Our application was unsuccessful, however we will continue to look for other funding opportunities.

Thank you for your feedback on the proposal. If funding is made available in future years, we will notify you of upcoming works.

Background

We identified an important transit connection that will increase the use of active travel to help break the reliance on cars as the main mode of travel for local trips.

We proposed a 2m shared path for pedestrians and bicycle riders through Warriewood Valley Sportsground which will provide active travel connections to the Narrabeen Education Precinct, sporting facilities, Warriewood B-Line, Warriewood Square and other key destinations.

The upgrade to the pedestrian crossing in Jacksons Road, near the Boondah Road intersection, to a raised pedestrian and bicycle crossing will connect existing and planned shared paths.

Future shared paths will be constructed as part of the Warriewood Valley Community Centre and Boondah Road upgrade.

This project is aligned with our Move – Northern Beaches Transport Strategy and will provide users with a wider path, safer crossings and greater accessibility for our community to walk and cycle. It would also result in both transport and recreational benefits for our community.

We exhibited these proposals between Tuesday 25 January and Friday 18 February 2022 to seek thoughts on each proposal. Feedback was reviewed and included in our grant application to the state government.
