fragmented due to the lack of permeability of Parramatta Road
and the M4 Motorway.
Outside the Project boundary, residential areas generally
provide good connections with footpaths on both sides of
streets.
Currently, the function of the M4 Motorway and Parramatta
Road generally favours the high volume of though traffic
movements, which consequently impacts the accessibility and
travel time for pedestrians crossing the road corridor.
A2.2 Cycleway network
Within the existing Project area, cyclist opportunities are quite
poor. Within the Homebush Bay Drive Interchange and Concord
Road Interchange areas, cyclists currently use the outside Figure 1-1 - Existing cycling network within the project area . Source: NSW Government, bicycle
shoulders of the M4 Motorway to travel both eastbound and information for NSW Cycleway Finder v3 (2016)
westbound. In the eastbound direction, cyclists are required
to leave the motorway at Sydney Street due to the inadequate
shoulder east of Sydney Street. In the westbound direction,
cyclists access the motorway from the westbound on-ramp at
Concord Road, due to inadequate shoulder east of this location.
Figure 12-1 shows the existing cycling network that surrounds
or intersects through the study area. There is currently a lack of
segregated cycling facilities along the Parramatta Road corridor.
Dedicated cycleways or cycle lanes that are provided are
separately geared towards leisure trips rather than commuter
trips with off road cycle paths predominantly restricted to
recreational foreshore or park areas.

A3 Access and
connectivity plans
The following section of this sub-plan details the existing and
proposed pedestrian and cyclist access and connections within
the Project Boundary, as well as noting the existing surrounding
area connections. The plans also highlight existing and
relocated Bus Stops.
The plans are divided with existing and proposed plans within
the following areas of the Project:
• Homebush Bay Drive Interchange
• Concord Road Interchange
• Wattle Street Interchange

• Parramatta Road Interchange

Within the Homebush Bay Drive Interchange, there is no
pedestrian access along the Motorway corridor, with crossing
only available at Pomeroy Street Pedestrian Bridge and
Underwood Road.
Proposed conditions
03
The proposed works will retain all current pedestrian
connections throughout the Project boundary and maintain
current connections within surrounding areas.
The project will improve cyclist connections, with proposed
cycleway connections to the M4 Widening project, and on-road
cycleway provisions in both directions of the Motorway with a
proposed cycleway as part of the M4 West westbound entry
ramp from Parramatta Road which will allow cyclists to connect
with the M4 Motorway.
Refer following Figures 12-2 to 12-5 for existing conditions,
and Figures Figures 12-6 to 12-9 for proposed access and
connectivity points.
