What we're planning

We are improving transport options for short local trips and recreation across Beacon Hill, Frenchs Forest, and Davidson by making it easier and safer for people walking and bike riding, in line with our adopted Northern Beaches Transport Strategy 2038.

The new shared-user path network will stretch 7.7km from Beacon Hill to Davidson, featuring new connections and upgrades to existing paths. This plan will link key destinations in the neighbourhood, transforming community access to local schools, shopping centres, recreational facilities, and other amenities.

We want to provide safer routes that are primarily separated from vehicular traffic or situated on quieter streets, with a strong focus on families and children travelling to and from school. The proposal also includes 26 new and upgraded raised crossing facilities and reduced speed limits on some quiet residential streets to improve safety for everyone using the road.
