BWA welcomes $20 million funding boost
06 MAY 2012 - Transport Minister, Troy Buswell has announced a $20 million funding boost over the next two years to support the WA Bicycle Network (WABN) Plan.
Works to be carried out under the additional funding include sections of the Perth to Midland Principal Shared Path (PSP) between Guildford and Midland and the Loch Street to Shenton Park section of the Perth to Fremantle PSP.
BWA has been calling for the completion of the Loch Street to Shenton Park section for some time and we are pleased to see this project has finally been supported and fully funded.
The funding allocation, as part of the WA State budget, is in addition to $7.5 million over the next four years as part of the CBD Transport Plan aimed at reducing congestion in and around the Perth CBD.
While the additional two years of funding is welcomed, BWA is asking the government to provide an ongoing committment to ensure the recommendations in the WABN Plan are fully implemented.
