Strategic Fast Track infrastructure mapped

The ACT Government has many Fast Track projects and of these, only a handful are of any benefit to the commuting cyclist. Here is what is currently on the list – mapped.

This is an older post. For more recent posts see here

The minimum width for a cycle path is 2.5m in the ACT, which is rather narrow, especially for two mountain bikes passing each other.

In “Fast Track program and CBR Cycle Routes“, canberra.bike listed those Fast Track projects that are compliant with ACT design standards. It is hard to know where these projects are. Maps help visualise the scale of the change, and aid in our data analysis.

We love Canberra, we love cycling, and we love positive change. Any improvements are exciting, and we are grateful for them.
