Homebush Active Transport Network
The Homebush Active Transport Network project involves the design of a new three kilometre cycle path between Airey Park and Strathfield Station.
The project objective is to provide a safe and coherent link that prioritises cyclists and physically separates them from general traffic and pedestrians where possible.
BG&E provided civil engineering services, including:
- Reviewing alignment options and opportunities to connect with the existing network or prepare for future, broader network connections
- Documenting the conceptual and detailed design for the new cycle path, including amendments to existing intersections, upgrades to traffic calming devices, and provision of new cyclist-friendly crossings
- Designing the shared path alignment from planning concept through to detailed design
- Investigating the impacts on existing stormwater infrastructure due to the shared path upgrades and providing cost-effective, engineering-based design solutions
- Upgrading design options for all cycle path crossings along routes to improve connectivity and safety
- Coordinating existing in-ground and above-ground utility services
- Rearranging and upgrading traffic signals along the route
- Designing soil and water management solutions
